ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

[Sverda]

Installing the library via: "pip install python-djvulibre==0.8.4" on the windows with all the prerequisites from documentation is not enough because I get an error when I try to import djvu.decode: "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. "

Yeah, this is broken.

The problem is that the extensions modules are linked to DjVuLibre DLL, but this DLL is normally not in the search path.

As a work-around, you can call (undocumented) djvu.dllpath.set_dll_search_path() before importing djvu.decode or djvu.sexpr. This function queries the Windows registry for the directory where DjVuLibre is installed and adds it to the search path with SetDllDirectoryW.
