epsice only works with Python 2.5.

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...

Thanks in advance!
