Starting Sikuli from Python returns error

Question

I want to run Sikuli for automating windows application using Python. I am new to Sikuli. Actually I have installed Sikuli by using pip install sikuli . And then I tried to import it in my Python file as given below:

from sikuli import *
print("Working")

but when i run it using 'python sikuliTest.py', I get the following error as given below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sikuliTest.py", line 1, in <module>
    from sikuli import *

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

Am not sure whether I had installed it correctly or where I have done the mistake. Please help me out with this.

Sikuli is using Jython and cannot be run directly from Python. If you want to use Python syntax to create scripts using Sikuli start reading here . Have a look at section 3 "How do I set up SikuliX".

For any specific questions/issues use the Sikuli Launchpad .
