Hi Tina, please always direct your pd-related questions to the pd-list. Yes, py is a library just as gem, so you can put it into the extra folder and add "py" to the startup items in the menu - some py/pyext greeting should come up in the console as soon as you restart pd. Using the binaries you don't need to use flext or compile stuff.
all the best, Thomas

Hi Thomas, I just downloaded the py/pyext windows binaries, and when I try to load Pd, I get the "py: can't load library". I'm new at all this so I'm not sure if I'm doing things correctly. Shouldn't the py library load if I just put the files in my pd folder, the way it does with GEM? I didn't think I needed to download flext too, but I might be wrong? I just thought I could do this without compiling anything... Let me know, and thanks!

Hello, I'm having some problem loading py into pd. I'm going to try and describe step by step to see if anyone can help me. I've looked on the lists too, and tried so many different things but I keep getting the "py: can't load libarary" message. So I downloaded the binary for Windows. Inside the folders "pd-msvc/release-multi" there is the py.dll file. I copied this file to the pd/extra folder. Then, under File > Startup, I just put "py" after the GEM line. Once I started pd, I get this message "This application has failed to start because python24.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." Once I click "OK", I get these errors in the pd window: tried C:\Program Files\pd\bin\py.dll and failed tried ..\py\scripts\buffer.py\py.dll and failed tried C:\Program Files\pd\extra\py.dll and succeeded C:\Program Files\pd\extra\py.dll: couldn't load py: can't load library
What is going on? I even tried copying the python24.dll file to the extra
folder or including the path to it in the startup, but nothing works...
Please help!
Thanks

hello tina,
have you tried to put the python24.dll in the windows, windows\system\ or windows\system32\ directory? these are the usual places where system-wide dll's should be, iirc.
greets,
chris

Hi Tina, did you actually install the Python package on your system? Nothing more should be necessary for the python24.dll to be found.
greetings, Thomas

Hi, Yea, I have Python installed correctly, I had started the tutorials and was running the interpreter... I added -verbose to the startup flags, but still got the same message: tried C:\Program Files\pd\bin\py.dll and failed tried C:\Program Files\pd\extra\py.dll and succeeded C:\Program Files\pd\extra\py.dll: couldn't load py: can't load library
all I have now to load is GEM and py. Should I be pointing to the python24.dll?
