from _jcc import initVM DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

Hi I am trying to port my working Django v1.3 application that uses Pylucene from DJANGO Dev server to Apache with mod_wsgi where it gives an error on the same Windows XP machine.

Error Message from Django debug:

ViewDoesNotExist at /administration/feeds/

Could not import plunk4.feeds.views. Error was: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Request Method: GET Request URL: localhost/administration/feeds/ Django Version: 1.3 Exception Type: ViewDoesNotExist Exception Value:

Could not import plunk4.feeds.views. Error was: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Here is the apache error.log

Lucene appears to work from Python Shell:

C:\Documents and Settings\Carlos>python

>>> import jcc
>>> import lucene
>>> lucene.initVM()
<jcc.JCCEnv object at 0x00AC67C0>
>>> lucene.VERSION
'3.1.0'

Here is the output of python -m jcc.__main__

  JCC - C++/Python Java Native Interface Code Generator

  Usage: python -m jcc.__main__ [options] [actions]

  Input options:
    --jar JARFILE           - make JCC wrap all public classes found in
                              JARFILE, add it to the module's CLASSPATH and
                              include it in the distribution
....

To demonstrate mod_WSGI is installed correctly: I created a c:\temp\wsgi_test.py file below:

import sys

sys.path.append('C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages')
sys.path.append('C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/lucene-3.1.0-py2.7-win32.egg/lucene')
sys.path.append('C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/lucene-3.1.0-py2.7-win32.egg/lucene/lib')
sys.path.append('C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/JCC-2.8-py2.7-win32.egg/jcc.dll')

def application(environ, start_response):
    status = '200 OK'

    output = ''
    output += 'sys.version = %s\n' % repr(sys.version)
    output += 'sys.prefix = %s\n' % repr(sys.prefix)
    output += 'sys.path = %s' % repr(sys.path)
    output += 'wsgi.multithread = %s' % repr(environ['wsgi.multithread'])
    output += 'mod_wsgi.process_group = %s' % repr(environ['mod_wsgi.process_group']) 

    response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
                        ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
    start_response(status, response_headers)

    return [output]

It returns:

hi Kutschkem, Thanks for offering the help. See workaround in my answer below. As a result I no longer have the problem. — Carlos Ferreira

Solution was to utilize Apache Solr instead. This allows me to make REST service calls from Python into Lucene index without the hassles of trying to get Python to call into Java/Lucene.
