Adding to Python Path DLLs

Question

I am currently trying to use the camera module from Pygame, a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Trying to initialize the camera gives the error

from VideoCapture import vidcap as vc ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'VideoCapture'

I am trying to resolve this error using the instructions from python pygame.camera.init() NO vidcapture , but I am not sure how to execute step 2 in the recommended solution, which says to add the corresponding version of dll from a downloaded program to "your python path"\DLLs. I understand this is a reference to the python system path, but am not sure what it means to add the dll.

Answer 1

"your python path" is the path of your python installation. DLLs is the directory DLLs under that very path.

So if your python installation is at (eg)

C:\Users\max.power\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32

then the "your python path"\DLLs directory refers to

C:\Users\max.power\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\DLLs

Also note that the camera module is marked as experimental, only works with v4l2 cameras and only supports linux out of the box, so I don't know if the answer you linked works at all.
