I am trying to install GDCM on Windows (10, x64) so I can use the GDCM package with Python 3.6.5, and am finding it completely impossible.
I have tried every combination of:
Installing GDCM-2.8.7-Windows-x86_64, GDCM-2.8.7-Windows-x86.exe, GDCM-2.8.4-Windows-x86.exe (separately, of course)
Adding To PYTHONPATH: C:\Program Files\Python36; C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib; C:\Program Files\Python36\DLLs; C:\Program Files\Python36\Scripts; C:\Program Files\GDCM 2.8; C:\Program Files\GDCM 2.8\lib; C:\Program Files\GDCM 2.8\bin; C:\Program Files\GDCM 2.8\include; C:\Program Files\GDCM 2.8\ (and even PYTHONHOME)
Copying the files gdcm.py, gdcmswig.py and _gdcmswig.pyd into site-packages and DLLs
The best I can get is copying the above mentioned files to site-packages, which allows python to detect the gdcm package (when the files are removed from site-packages it detects nothing), but returns the error:
>>> import gdcm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

import_module
return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
Installing the _x86 version instead returns the error "%1 is not a Valid Win32 application".
I downloaded dependencyWalker to analyse _gdcmswig.pyd, but from this I cannot understand much. The problem is not MSVCP100.dll, as I have vc_redist_x64 installed. It does mention Python34.dll, but the answer below got the exact same installer working on Python 3.6.
The solution mentioned at:
how to install gdcm python wrapping on Windows System? does not work for me.
Lastly, I cannot get python to detect the package from the Program Files/GDCM 2.8/bin, regardless of what is in PATH, PYTHONPATH, or PYTHONHOME; I don't know if this is normal or not.
I have spent hours on this, to no avail; any help is greatly appreciated.
For posterity:
For me, it seems the issue was indeed that the official provided binaries were compiled for Python 3.4; I have no idea how this person got the same installer working on Python 3.6.
The solution was to build the package binaries myself; there was no "one-click" solution. For my ridiculously convoluted adventure in troubleshooting this problem, see: https://motivatedbylaziness.wordpress.com/2018/07/06/the-impossible-journey-of-a-simple-task/
I recently had this issue, and I solved it using:
python -m pip install python-gdcm
It seems that today (2022) there is a "one-click" solution

The issue:
So, after compilation, inside the dist folder, there is "PyQt5.Qt.pyd" file,
but I am getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 102, in <module>
File "<frozen zipimport>", line 259, in load_module
File "<loader>", line 10, in <module>
File "<loader>", line 8, in __load
ImportError: (DLL load failed while importing QtWidgets: The specified module could not be found.) 'Z:\\Project\\dist\\PyQt5.QtWidgets.pyd'
I am pretty sure that that this "Qt" folder from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python38-32\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt", which after compilation is converted to "PyQt5.Qt.pyd" file I guess, is responsible for this error. Because when I add this location to my Windows PATH: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python38-32\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin", the compiled program works flawlessly.
My temporary fix is:
I copied the "Qt" folder to the "dist", and made a batch script that adds ".\dist\Qt\bin" to PATH, for the current CMD window...Just so I can send it to my client to test it out for now...But this is far from the final solution... What to do?
(I have also tried to copy just "bin", or "platform\qwindows.dll" from "Qt" to dist, but no luck...)
I would appreciate any help or advice regarding this. Thanks in advance!

Copy all dll's from PyQt5\Qt\bin to dist, except the ones beginning with Qt5* (You might not need d3dcompiler_47, libEGL, libGLESv2 and opengl32sw if your not using direct3d or opengl)
I suggest you try out to run your application converted with py2exe on a newly installed windows (maybe in a virtual machine) to find out if it has other dependencies.

I am attempting to build a speech-to-text algorithm using Mozilla DeepSpeech, but I am having trouble installing the package.
First, I created a new virtual environment in Anaconda called deepspeech-venv and installed the latest version of the deepspeech package (v0.8.1) via pip in the Anaconda Powershell with the command pip install deepspeech --upgrade.
Next, I downloaded both the pbmm version and the tflite version of the pre-trained English models from Mozilla's GitHub using the commands wget https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.8.1/deepspeech-0.8.1-models.pbmm and wget https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.8.1/deepspeech-0.8.1-models.tflite.
Finally, I wanted to check and make sure that everything installed correctly, so I typed deepspeech -h into the command line, which produced the following error statement:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
From what I understand, this means that I'm lacking some dependencies for the deepspeech library; however, I'm not quite sure what additional DLLs need to be installed or even how to go about that process. (Unless, of course, if the issue lies in my installation process, and I merely have to add another library.)
NOTE: I am running Python v3.7.7 on a Windows 10 64-bit system.
I copied the "libdeepspeech.so" file from "lib" directory to directly under "deepspeech" directory as suggested in the below shared link and it worked for me.

Although I have been using Python for a while, I am relatively new to Anaconda, and package handling in general seems to cause a lot of problems for me.
I am trying to get xgboost up and running with Anaconda. I eventually managed to install it by using the command:
conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost
in the Anaconda prompt.
When I now try import xgboost in the PyCharm Python Console, I am given the following error:

I have searched for similar questions on StackOverflow, but I've had no luck, besides finding complicated answers which I did not feel comfortable implementing without fully understanding, and which I am not sure are applicable to my scenario anyway.
Some further things to note, which may be related:
Originally, I installed the package using pip install xgboost in the Pycharm Terminal before realising my mistake.
When I initially tried testing the xgboost package, I did so (stupidly) in a file named xgboost.py. I have since deleted this project. I uninstalled and reinstalled xgboost afterwards.
I have tried several things to try and resolve this issue which may have complicated things further. For example, I deleted the 'xgboost' folder from inside 'C:\Users\Richard\Anaconda2' when typing conda uninstall xgboost into the Anaconda prompt failed.
Would anyone be able to shed any light on what is causing this issue? This is my first question on stack overflow, so I apologise if my question has not been posed completely correctly with regards to the guidelines.
After further searching, I managed to answer my own question.
The xgboost (C++) library must be compiled and built before it can be used as a Python module. To do so, I carefully followed the instructions on this page:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/jfp/entry/Installing_XGBoost_For_Anaconda_on_Windows?lang=en
and now, I think, xgboost is working fine. This is the first time I have encountered a package where this was required, hence the confusion. Hopefully this will help someone else who has the same issue.

OK, just fine, try to search to solve this message.

That is the download area of MySQLdb project, it has nothing to do with django, so your question is incorrect - django does not make switching database backends hard, you just change one line. And of course, your python installation should support that database first, so by downloading binary package for Windows from the link I gave above (chose correct version to match your version of python) you can avoid all the hassle of compiling the source release.
Most probably you need either MySQL-python-1.2.2.win32-py2.5.exe or MySQL-python-1.2.2.win32-py2.4.exe
Uh, this isn't Django, this is you downloading some unspecified Python environment and expecting it to magically do everything exactly the way you wanted it to. Find a good tutorial on this and follow the instructions.
BTW, this is a very helpful forum, but giving no specifics and then delivering a non-question with an attitude is not a good way to get people to feel helpful.
I once had the same problem running Python and MySQL on the same computer. Like the guys/gals said above, Python does not come with built-in support for MySQL, so you will need to download the connectors.
The link given above by #kibitzer will most likely not work on Windows successfully, so go here to download a copy of the connector that works with windows. It comes with installer and no need to run setup.py script manually.
