epsice only works with Python 2.5. -----Original Message----- From: eispice-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:eispice-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nick Waite Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2011 11:55 AM To: eispice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [eispice] want to try eispice for evolutionary-programming project Hi, I'm pretty familiar with python and there are a number of excellent machine-learning and stochastic-optimization packages available for it. One of my interests has always been using computers to create new electronic circuits, or to optimize them, and there have been a number of papers published on the subject. I thought to take SPICE and couple it with python, but quickly realized that this would involve python calling spice with command line arguments and parsing its output, probably very inefficient, especially for small circuits. So I looked around for something with python bindings that would allow the memory object of a circuit to be created once, then manipulated multiple times (parameter changes, etc). eispice seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I downloaded the windows installer and, after installation it gives the following error upon import: File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\eispice\__init__.py", line 52, in <module> from simulator_ import about, logFile, errorFile ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. What DLL might this be referring to? The .pyd files are all there...
