pyFMOD problem

[Tian]

I am trying to use pyfmod in python to manipulate sound.
i have installed pyfmod, ctype, numarray (if they are necessary), i
also copied fmod.dll to python/DLLs as well as windows/system32, but
when i tried

import pyFMOD

I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0 >", line 1, in -toplevel-
import pyFMOD
File "C:\Python24\Li b\site-packages\pyFMOD .py", line 177, in
-toplevel-
_FSOUND_Sample_ Load = getattr(fmod, "_FSOUND_Sample _Load@16")
File "C:\Python24\Li b\site-packages\ctypes \__init__.py", line 323,
in __getattr__
func = self._StdcallFu ncPtr(name, self)
AttributeError: function '_FSOUND_Sample _Load@16' not found
-------------------------------------
How can I deal with this?
Thanks!

First, you should copy fmod.dll to a directory somewhere where
LoadLibrary can find it. That includes directories on PATH, plus the
directory where the executable is. python/DLLs does probably not work.

The fmod.dll that I just downloaded has a function named
'_FSOUND_Sample _Load@20', which indicates an api change (the number of
the '@' sign indicates how many bytes are needed as parameters).

Probably pyFMOD needs an older version of fmod.dll, or pyFMOD should be
updated?
