I am experiencing the exact same problem. It seems like this error is recurrent whether the dll bin directory is included in PYTHONPATH and system PATH or not:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The link provided shows a work-around which works for me. Namely:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">>>> import os<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Although this works it would be good to determine the underlying reason why the regular method does not. Again I am including the bin directory in both pythonpath and system
environment path as proven by the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I also tried to track down the user who was facing a similar problem back in 2014 (livia.barazzetti at istb.unibe.ch) to see if she ended up figuring out the solution. Unfortunately
her name is not in the mailing list anymore which to me implies she is either not a user anymore or has become so proficient that she doesn’t use the mailing list anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
