Hi
As a user of Liblouis in Python I had the same problem as Андрейevn when
I tried to follow the instructions Christian suggests.
I therefore came up with a similar workaround to Andre. The main
difference being that I edit the __init__.py.in file replacing
###LIBLOUIS_SONAME### to the path to liblouis.dll and saving it as
__init__.py before running:
python setup.py install
Something I found out new in Python 3.8, for security I think, was that
you have to put the full path to the DLL rather than relying on the PATH
variable to find it.

Hi Андрей
When you run `make` it should modify the string ###LIBLOUIS_SONAME### to
the proper name of the dynamic library inside __init__.py. To be honest
I do not know if this works on windows.
As far as I know this should work if you use a tarball from the releases
page.
This code was provided by James Teh a long time ago (maybe 10 years?).
Someone who knows more about windows and the Python bindings should have
a look at this.

Hello everybody!
I'm sorry if my question is too stupid, but I'm absolutely know
nothing about programming with Liblouis at the moment. So what should
I do to use liblouis with Python? I've installed 'louis' from
Python-derrectory of the repo, but when I import it, I get such error:
liblouis = _loader["###LIBLOUIS_SONAME###"]
File
"C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\ctypes\__init__.py",
line 448, in __getitem__
return getattr(self, name)
File
"C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\ctypes\__init__.py",
line 443, in __getattr__
dll = self._dlltype(name)
File
"C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\ctypes\__init__.py",
line 373, in __init__
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
FileNotFoundError: Could not find module '###LIBLOUIS_SONAME###' (or
one of its dependencies). Try using the full path w
ith constructor syntax.
What should I install to fix it?
Thanks.
