Issues running Python

[scargill]

There is an assumption with many of these programs that people somehow "know" Python. I've installed it on my PC and it seems to work. I only know that because one of the loader programs works that allows us to send binary firmware to the WIFI boards. In this case, I'm getting some gripe about a DLL missing... it's there, where it should be in System32... which seems a little odd as it's the 64 bit version of Python... can't get passed the missing dll issue. Any chance of a Windows visual version which will allow us to simply paste in any amount of code and have it prefix and suffix?

Hmm. Windows VisualStudio is NOT my thing @scargill, sorry 😃
Can you please post a more complete error message so I can help you out?

Yes, sorry..., when I tried to run the .py program a window popped up and said that the python27.dll is not installed - but it is.. it's where it's supposed to be - i.e. in the Windows/system32 directory..

Can you provide the specific error message or a screenshot of it @scargill?

[erinzm]

By the way, are you running the script by double-clicking? You have to run it from the terminal, it's a command-line program.

Hey @scargill, I'll package you up a .exe and put it on the Releases page by tomorrow night :)

[scargill]

What a good man - thank you!!

[erinzm]

@scargill I just packaged up a standalone .exe. Check out this release: https://github.com/ArchimedesPi/esp8266-luaupload/releases/tag/v0.3

Oh excellent - well done!

Let me know if it works!
