General fix: replace bare
except:+passwith targeted exception handling and an explanatory comment, so only expected failures are ignored.Best fix here (without changing behavior): in
python_package/brainflow/ml_model.py, insideMLModuleDLL.__init__, change:except:toexcept (AttributeError, OSError):passbut add a clear explanatory comment stating why it is safe to continue.Why these exceptions:
AttributeError:os.add_dll_directorymay not exist on some Python/platform combinations.OSError: call can fail depending on runtime environment/permissions/path handling.No imports or new methods are needed.
