<br>
All the .pyd files are where they should be, and all the vtk*PythonD.dll files are where they should be, in C:\vtk-vs10-x64\bin, which is in the PATH. The point of my question was that the VTK release build did not create any vtk*Python.dll files, although
it did create the .lib files. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that vtkpython is looking for the missing DLL files - specifically, for vtkRenderingPython.dll. Am I wrong in thinking that they should have been built?<br>

<div>The python modules are called "vtk*Python.pyd" on Windows.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">And, in order for the modules to be loaded, all of the VTK DLLs</div>

I just rebuilt VTK-5.10.1 64-bit on Windows with VTK_WRAP_PYTHON ON. The build completed without errors. I do not understand why I have 14 .lib and .dll files named vtk*PythonD.dll and vtk*PythonD.lib, and 14 .lib files named vtk*Python.lib, but no vtk*Python.dll.
This causes my attempt to run a VTK-Python example to fail like this:<br>
<br>
D:\testing\VTK\Superquadric>vtkpython superquadric.py<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "superquadric.py", line 1, in <module> import vtk<br>
File "c:\VTK-VS10-x64\lib\site-packages\vtk\__init__.py", line 63, in <module> __helper.refine_import_err('rendering', 'vtkRenderingPython', exc)<br>
File "c:\VTK-VS10-x64\lib\site-packages\vtk\__helper.py", line 32, in refine_import_err raise LinkError, str(exc)<br>
vtk.__helper.LinkError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.<br>
<br>
I see that somebody was asking exactly the same question back in October, 2010, but there was no answer.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
