Thanks for the response. Simply changing the name of the extension .dll to .pyd does not help.

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

It is not a path problem, as another module in the same location can be imported correctly.

I am building the boost_extension_module in Visual Studio IDE. Is there a way to output a pyd directly, instead of dll?
What else is required to let Python know about boost_python libs?

Thanks.

Change your shared library's filename extension from .dll to .pyd. As of 
Python 2.5, the Python interpreter stopped accepting .dll as a valid 
extension module filename:

http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.4/whatsnew/ports.html#SECTION0001510000000000000000

"Windows: .dll is no longer supported as a filename extension for 
extension modules. .pyd is now the only filename extension that will be 
searched for."
