I have developed an extension module on pys60 1.9.2 with S60 5th edition SDK. I am able to load and use the extension in 5th ed. emulator but trying to import it into target device's python runtime (Nokia 5800) fails with the not-too-specific "ImportError: Error in loading dll"

I'm using the high_capas devcert-signed version of python runtime and script shell and also signed my own sis containing the .pyd-file with the same certificate and high capabilities. Not sure though what capabilities do the runtime+script shell exactly have but for my own sis I used all those capabilities listed in PyS60_1_9_x_README.txt chapter 5 (included in pys60 src distribution). I also followed the instructions about file locations and made my sis to install the .pyd-file into c:\sys\bin

I think the basics should be OK as I'm able to load and use the extension in emulator.

What checks should I do in the first place in order to solve the problem?

Is there any means to check that the sis-installer really copied the .pyd file into c:\sys\bin? Because I think that the same ImportError is given when the imported .pyd-file just does not exist.

There are tools available(for example SISContents) that helps you to analyze the SIS file that you create. Check the package structure and also the capabilities of each PYD file in it.

Also, make sure that the init function is at ordinal 1. You might have to manually edit the .def file.

Thanks for good tips. SISContents seems to be a handy tool. Everything in my sis seemed to be ok though, including structure and capabilities. I also checked the def-file and MODULE_INIT_FUNC was the first one there.

Don't know how to go on

Is your pyd named "251_xxx.pyd" (Where xxx is the module name)?

Hello,

I'm facing a similar problem...

How did you solve the issue?
