I’m in a quandary. I’m following the following tutorial (specifically, 6.4.2)
http://majorsilence.com/pygtk_audio_and_video_playback_gstreamer
I’m running Python 2.7, PyGTK 2.24, and GStreamer WinBuilds 10.7 (the main installer and the SDK).
When I try and compile the program, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in import gst File “C:Program FilesOSSBuildGStreamerv0.10.6libsite-packagesgst-0.10gst__init__.py”, line 193, in from _gst import * ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
How do I get the gst module to import? (Mind you, I checked, and pygst DOES import.)
Thank you in advance!

Answer
This is because you are using Python 2.7, and the GST default is 2.6. This is really easy to fix:
Go to C:Program FilesOSSBuildGStreamerv0.10.6sdkbindingspythonv2.7lib
and copy
gstreamer-0.10 and site-packages to
C:Program FilesOSSBuildGStreamerv0.10.6lib, replacing any existing files.
Then delete the file C:Program FilesOSSBuildGStreamerv0.10.6libgstreamer-0.10libgstpython-v2.6.dll (or change the extension to .dllx or something).
Now it should work.
Alternatively to changing GST to suit Python 2.7, you could just use Python 2.6.
EDIT:
After attempting to install Gstreamer on a new computer, I found that I could not import pygst until I removed the extra backslash from C:Program FilesOSSBuildGstreamerv0.10.7libsite-packages in PYTHONPATH. I believe this may have been your problem all the way along.
