And here ar my env. variables:

PATH:

c:\root\bin;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\libtiff;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\bin;%WinDir%\System32;C:\Python26;C:\Python26\DLLs;C:\Python26\Scripts;C:\Python26\gnuplot\bin;C:\Programme\pythonxy\mingw\bin;C:\Programme\pythonxy\gettext\bin;C:\Python26\OpenCV\bin;C:\Programme\pythonxy\SciTE-2.21;C:\Programme\pythonxy\swig;C:\Programme\pythonxy\console;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\vtk

PYTHONPATH:

c:\root\bin;C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\sebastian.rhode\Eigene Dateien\My Dropbox\Python_Files\tiff_read

ROOTSYS:

c:\root\

Any idea what the problem could be and how to solve it?

Thnaks for your help,

Sebi,

the module should be called libPyROOT.pyd (rather than .dll) and should indeed be available under $ROOTSYS/bin or $ROOTSYS/lib (I can’t quite recall, and don’t have access to a Windows box at the moment). That path then should be part of PYTHONPATH and visible from python under sys.path. There are possible complications if the python install is non-cygwin and the rest of the environment is and vice versa ("/" versus “”, etc.).

So, first check where libPyROOT.pyd is located, then check sys.path and see whether that directory is in there in the proper form.
