[WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

[Zest]

Hello people,

I am pretty new at working with python and I am encoutering the error as stated in the subject. Full error:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Joan\workspace2\Model\src\main.py", line 6, in <module>
    import lib_pct_build_network
  File "C:\Users\Joan\workspace2\Model\src\lib_pct_build_network.py", line 4, in <module>
    from lib_pct_read_network import *

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I have already googled it and many answers say it is a bit 32bit vs 64bit issue. However I don't know what the problem would be  :huh:

I use a 32bit eclipse with PyDev plugin
I have python 3.5 (32 bits)
Windows 7

Is there anything else that should be 32bits? Any help is appreciated :-)

What code are you trying to run? Note that Win32 does not indicate you are running 32 bit code, it is just a label indicating you are using a Windows platform

[metulburr]

try running the program from a command line/terminal.

what exactly do you mean with 32bit code? how can i check how many bits my code is?

for a project i have been provided with a toolbox written in python and i'm trying to import a module from this toolbox (could this toolbox perhaps be 64bits? and if so how can i check?). i have placed all files in the same folder.

When we ask for your code, it means the Python code you have written.  :)
You say you have a 'toolbox' and you are trying to import a module from it, so at the very least, your code will look like this

import module_name    # This is the name of the module you are trying to import

# Here is you code that you've written to use that module

At this point, do not worry about 32 and 64 bit stuff. Where did you get the 'toolbox' from?

[Zest]

alright well the main class looks like this, nothing special, the toolbox was written and provided by someone I know and it isn't public so I should probably not be sharing that without permission  :-/

import lib_pct_build_network

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

is there anything you would like to know/see about the toolbox/library?

When say python 3.5 (32 bits) is this trough anaconda?

File "C:\Users\Joan\Anaconda3\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 347, in __init__

Error:
OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

The error message is because you mixing are 32-bit and 64-bit.

i ran it in the terminal and a similar error happens:

@snippsat, if it says so in the stack (the quote) then it must go through anaconda i think? i checked the python in anaconda and it is 32bits

i ran it in the terminal and a similar error happens:

Usually .so is a lib built under linux with the equivalent in windows a .dll.
Is the person that gave you this "toolbox" running linux?

[Zest]

@metulburr,
ahhh that could be the problem. so i'd just have to convert/recompile it to a .dll file and adjust the modules a bit right?
now i just need to find out how to create the .dll files  :) 

thanks

i don't know, seems probable
