Pylink Import Error

[chris2307]

The previous module came from the SR Research thread which contained links to the different platform specific pylink. I downloaded win32.

When importing manually, it works for Vizard4 but not at all for Vizard5. I have eliminated the possibility that it could be looking elsewhere by specifying the exact file path also.

I would prefer to install pylink using the package manager as this seems like the "proper" way to do things. FYI - When I did this, I downloaded Pylink 0.3.2 through the package manager interface. I saw no other versions available.

The pylink that is listed on the Python Package Index is completely unrelated to the pylink library provided by SR Research. I was able to get the pylink library provided by SR Research to work using the following steps:

1. Download pylink_win32.zip from https://www.sr-support.com/showthread.php?14-Pylink
2. Extract the zip file to your local computer
3. Copy the entire pylink27 subfolder to the Vizard/bin/lib/site-packages folder
4. Rename the pylink27 folder to pylink
5. Now you can call import pylink from any Vizard script

I ran the above steps with Vizard 5 32-bit and it worked fine.

Note, as of the time of this post, SR Research does not seem to provide a 64-bit version of the pylink library for Windows, so this will not work with 64-bit versions of Vizard.

Thank you for this.

I was completely unaware that there were two completely unrelated pylink librarys!

I will give this a go tomorrow when I am back in the office. Many thanks

Just to confirm - This has worked so many thanks for your help.

I find it bizarre as I had attempted to manually link to all the sub-folders in pylink at one point or another! Must have been missing something rather obvious :/

Anyway, thank you for the help.
