DIdn't see this, I was too busy helping the OP search for an answer,
and educate us both at the same time.

 Others would be able to see this for themselves but

How are my emails without context? I'm referring the OP to the docs,
as well as posts related to their question. It goes to use google, and
RTFM, and putting it politely to them.

I could summarize, but they have to do the real reading. I'm not
researching this, and if I was, I'd charge for the time. This is to
show that things can get complex if you don't use google, or read the
docs.

Why does the OP keep asking here, when there are answers out there.
especially on the pywin list, which Windows users are usually referred
to.

Please point out what's out of context. The links and references place
it into context if the OP finds them useful, and I believe I searched
well for them.

Would the OP like to tell me I wasn't helpful? Because now they're
probably on a search to figure out how to make these compatible, which
means more questions, and more reading.

Plus the OP said he's on 64. Read the quote from stackoverflow:


   "I suspect you have the same problem I've run into. If you have a 64-bit
version of Python, it cannot load 32-bit DLLs. OpenCV currently only ships
32-bit binaries. If you want 64-bit .pyd and .dll files, you have to
compile them yourself. "

A different program, but roughly the same in analogy, I do believe.

And where in here was the OP referenced to the python docs on windows:

>> http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html

Was that out of context as well?

Let's not argue about this, I was pointing them to what I saw as the
best possible resources to overcome his current problem, and it was
all in context of the conversation as far as I'm concerned.
