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

Getting this error when using python 3.7.4.

[riverrun]

First of all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Is this using Windows? Does the error output give you any other information (for example, where the ImportError is)?

[grylls]

Np, Yeah in windows.

Could you try running pip install PyGObject and see if that works?

[grylls]

nope its already there
Requirement already satisfied: PyGObject in c:\users\dubey\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (3.30.5)

[riverrun]

Do have Gtk installed? If it is installed, is it a recent version?

I think you will need to install a fairly recent version of Gtk. There seem to be quite a few guides online for installing Gtk on Windows - I cannot recommend any of them in particular because I do not use Windows.

[grylls]

Installed it today.
But same error

[riverrun]

I don't know what to suggest next. I will add a note to the README explaining that it is clearly 'difficult' to get this working on Windows at the moment.

There is an issue (#22) about allowing users to install just the command-line interface, and if and when I have the time to do that, then you will be able to install that on Windows.

[grylls]

Thanks for reverting back.

Yep, stuck on the same error. I installed msys to install most of the dependencies but now I am stuck on this import gi error.
