python import sybpydb error: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

[andieDu]

I am scratching my hairs and trying to find out why I am always having such error.

I have sybpydb installed on my laptop (win 7 professional) in c drive: C:\FAST\anaconda\python27\win64\431\Lib\site-packages\.
I had set the path to that location: C:\FAST\anaconda\python27\win64\431\Lib\site-packages\.

But whenever I try to import sybpydb, i am always getting this error message:

>>> import sybpydb

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named sybpydb

I was googling and tried the suggested steps:-

1. https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SY...on+samples
2. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3387...dule-named

but no avail, i installed Anaconda for Pythong 2.x, and Python Plugin for IntelliJ, and the sydpydb DLL must be installed alone with either of those 2 installation

Did anyone has come across this before please?

Looking at the download page: http://python-sybase.sourceforge.net/download.html
There is no wheel, and there is no package in PyPi repository, so you have to install using method other than pip, try:

• Download tar file: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/python-....39.tar.gz
  
• Decompress tar file
  
• Open directory python-sybase-0.39
  
• from command line run

  python setup.py install

I haven't tested it because I don't have sybase DBMS, but should work
If it doesn't work, you'll have to search their docs for an installation process, you can try this: http://python-sybase.sourceforge.net/install.html

I took a look at the Sybase installation instructions, and you should as well. It's not a standard install, and if their instructions arem't followed, I don't think you'll get there.
