Python: AttributeError: Tolk

[chigkim]

I'm having a problem running the python example.
It seems I'm missing something very basic, but I'd appreciate if someone could help.

I copied src\python\Tolk.py to examples\python.
Then I copied the following dlls to examples\python.
dolapi32.dll
nvdaControllerClient32.dll
nvdaControllerClient64.dll
SAAPI32.dll
SAAPI64.dll

I ran build.bat, and got no output no error.
When I run python ConsoleApp.py, I get the error below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\chigo\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 450, in __getattr__
    dll = self._dlltype(name)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\chigo\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 379, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'Tolk' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    _tolk = cdll.Tolk

AttributeError: Tolk

Thanks so much!

Hello. In python => 3.8 os.add_dll_directory was added to add dll directory locations and cwd is no longer added to path by default. So, try to add dll directory to search path with os.add_dll_directory for example scriptDir and try again

Thanks for your reply, but still I can't get it to run.
I added the following to ConsoleApp.py.

import os
os.add_dll_directory(os.path.dirname(__file__))

However, I get the error below.

D:\code\tolk\examples\python>python ConsoleApp.py
