This is why it's frequently useful to supply the information with your 
original question:  what version of Python, and what OS.

You're on Linux or similar, and dll's are the way a Windows executable 
is named.  So chances are you're trying to install a Windows dll on 
Linux, which is unlikely to work except under very special circumstances 
(eg. within WINE).

Try going back to where you downloaded this file, and see if you can get 
the one for your OS.
