It’s seem to be some problems about windows dll loader.
I found some solution and it works for me.

Hey, another Windows user here, if you’re still there. I also got the import error, but when I tried to directly specify the library (wand_lib = ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.6.6-Q8\CORE_RL_wand_.dll’), I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Chris, are you still having issues? Sorry for the late reply. It looks like a Windows permissions error. Double-check that you have read and execute permissions on C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.8-Q16. If not, add them. I’m not sure why that wouldn’t already be the case, but stranger things have happened. Sorry, I don’t have access to a Windows machine for testing.

I tried adding r’C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.8-Q16′ to the line you mention, but now I get the error:

from pythonmagickwand.image import Image
File “C:\Program Files\Python26\lib\site-packages\pythonmagickwand\image.py”, line 2, in
from pythonmagickwand import api, wand, color
File “C:\Program Files\Python26\lib\site-packages\pythonmagickwand\api.py”, line 23, in

self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)

Sorry, Frank, I think I completely missed that you were trying to install PythonMagickWand on Windows. Do you have ImageMagick installed? (See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows if you don’t.) There might be some problems finding the location of the MagickWand library on Windows. My wrapper tries to intelligently locate the library, but it might not be smart enough for Windows. Actually, I’m pretty sure it isn’t. Do you know where the MagickWand library files are installed on Windows? You could try editing the pythonmagickwand/api.py at line 15 to include the path. If you get it working, please send me a patch. Sorry, I don’t have easy access to a Windows machine to test this.

Ian,
I tried with Python 2.51, then reinstalled to 2.5.4. I ran easy_install from the subversion directory(missing in PATH) and it seemed to install. I did run the Image Magik win32 install just prior-(ver 6.5.8 Q16). I’m able to import pythonmagickwand but not the .image class. Is the “zip_safe flag not set” affecting the process ?

Hi Frank. I haven’t tested the library under Python 2.6, only 2.5. Try using it in Python 2.5.

Wondering if you could help my installation on windows. I’m getting the _getstate_ error below when doing the dry-run or easy_install.exe http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/pythonmagickwand/trunk.
Thanks in advance …

from pythonmagickwand.image import Image
from pythonmagickwand.color import BLUE
i = Image(‘test.jpg’)
i.format = ‘PNG’
i.rotate(45, BLUE)
i.save(‘flip.png’)

looks like it’s renamed.
