For people having issues importing DLLs when having pip == 20.0.0 or 20.0.1

[studioj]

Its not a pyzbar issue but this was the best location i could think of posting this debug information.

PIP version 20.0.1 and version 20.0.0 have this issue
see this issue
pypa/pip#7636

pip is not installing the right wheels

to resolve do
python -m pip install pip==19.3.1
edit:
the issue now has been fixed in pip
so you can also do

python -m pip install pip --upgrade

and then

python -m pip uninstall pyzbar
python -m pip install pyzbar

Hello,

I followed your instruction, but I still get
FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'libiconv.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.
and
FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'MY\PATH.venv\lib\site-packages\pyzbar\libzbar-64.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

I installed zbar before I did this.

Any ideas?

Hi @Swoy, I experienced the same issue as you and solved it by following the instructions at #13 (comment).

Issue can be closed since it was actually a pip issue
