When running my code, I get this traceback. This is only on PSSE 34.9.4 and 32 bit Python 3.9.13, using 32 bit Python 2.7.18 and PSSE 34.9.4 works just fine.

PS C:\Users\path> .\run.bat
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "C:\Users\path\program.py", line 26, in <module>
            import psspy
        File ".\psspy.py", line 56, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing psscommon: The specified module could not be found.

I have done all the importing and path setting with this code.

import sys, os
PSSE_LOCATION = r'''C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY39'''
sys.path.append(PSSE_LOCATION)
os.environ['PATH'] = os.environ['PATH'] + ';' + PSSE_LOCATION
import psspy

The part that confuses me is that the file psspy.pyc and psscommon.pyd are both in the folder added to the path.

SOLVED

I was able to get it working. All that was missing was import psse34 as well.

import sys, os
PSSE_LOCATION = r'''C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY39'''
sys.path.append(PSSE_LOCATION)
os.environ['PATH'] = os.environ['PATH'] + ';' + PSSE_LOCATION
import psse34
import psspy

This solves the DLL import issue. I'm not sure why, but there's the fix.

From rev 34 you don’t need to set the path. Just import psse34 and psspy.

That's what I was doing previously when using Python 2.7, but I was no longer able to get it to work in Python 3.9. It can't find psse34 even though 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY39' is in PATH variable.
