How to import caffe module in Python?

Question

I have build .dll of _caffe.cpp on Windows (Release, x64).

I changed extension .dll to .pyd and trying to import it in python:

import caffe

  File "\caffe-master\python\caffe\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .pycaffe import Net, SGDSolver

  File "\caffe-master\python\caffe\pycaffe.py", line 13, in <module>
    from ._caffe import Net, SGDSolver

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

What does it mean, some module of dependencies missing which was included in project in Visual Studio, where I build this dll?

Answer 1

You need to add Python Caffe to PYTHONPATH. For example: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/username/caffe/python

Answer 2

For windows :

Adding /caffe/Build/x64/Release/pycaffe to system path(path) works for me, and I think the best way to do it is :

1. New a system variable : PYTHON_PKG = /caffe/Build/x64/Release/pycaffe;
2. Include PYTHON_PKG in path : path = %PYTHON_PKG%; %OtherDirs%

After I did this, I get PKG missing google.internal, then I did pip install google.internal in CMD. It works.
