ver.2 PyGreSQL ERROR: from _pg import * ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
dllimport, postgresql, pygresql, python
Solution
I was also facing the same issue on `Win 8`. First time I had installed `PostgreSQL` in "C:\Program Files" and also set environment `PATH` to point to PostgreSQL folder. I was suspecting permission issue for "C:\Program Files" folder.
I was able to fix this issue by following the steps as mentioned below.
- Uninstalled PostgreSQL
- Re-installed PostgreSQL in "C:\PostgreSQL" Note that I have not installed PostgreSQL into "C:\Program Files" folder this time
- Set the environment `PATH` `C:\PostgreSQL\9.4;C:\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin`
- Also ensure that `_pg.pyd` exist in `C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages`
Problem
I have the same problem that was discussed here, but I haven't credit to comment an answer so I start new question. I have in PATH way to libpq.dll (C:\PostgreSql\lib) but it doesn't solve this problem. Using Python 2.7.9 32-bit, PostgreSQL 8.4, Win 8 ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module> import pg File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pg.py", line 21, in <module> from _pg import * ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. ```
