C:\Users\D2C\Downloads\Spout-for-Python-master\Examples>python hello.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Same error, any lead on it ?

[Makio64]

Solved by building boost and then SpoutSDK, the python version have to match else python ignore the .pyd like it doesnt exist..

PS : if you are on visualstudio2017 when you build boost you need to change --toolset=msvc-14.0 to --toolset=msvc-14.1

@Makio64 thanks for the solution, I switched to python3.5 and reinstalled everything then it works

I have the same issue, downgraded to python 3.5.2 but it didn't work, then I dowgraded to 3.5 but it is still not resolved.. do you have some other suggestions?

I'm having issues with this. Is it possible to create .pyd files for the common versions?
I'm having issues trying to compile the .dll for my machine.

I've had issues updating this to python 3.7. Now VS2017 is looking for python27.lib (???)....
IF anybody has managed to build it for python 3.7, the pyd would be great, or a breakdown of the changes they made in the project. Having spout available in python would be very useful.
