PySide for Python 2.7.2 ImportError DLL load failed on Win32

Question

I'm trying to get PySide working for Python 2.7.2 on 32 bit windows XP.

The official docs say to install Qt AND PySide.

This pypi page seems to indicate I should only need to install PySide-1.2.0.win32-py2.7.exe from here .

I have tried installing PySide-1.2.0.win32-py2.7.exe both with and without also installing Qt libraries 4.8.5 for Windows (VS 2008, 235 MB). I have tried putting the PySide and Qt directories on my path. No matter what I do I can not import PySide.QtCore

Answer 1

Solved.

I uninstalled everything python & qt (including NINJA-IDE, which uses qt, just in case).

I reinstalled python 2.7.5 (was using 2.7.3).

I reinstalled PySide-1.2.0.win32-py2.7.exe

I can now import PySide.QtCore

Somewhere in the past I must have done something that made my interpreter think it knew where to look for a qt file ('QtCore.pyd' perhaps?) and unistalling everything / reinstalling fixed this. That's my guess.
