DLL error when importing modules in Python

Development
1

I am trying to create and edit collections in Python. However, when I try to import _rsbridge in Python, either through from anki.collection import Collection or directly, I get the following error:

“ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _rsbridge: The specified procedure could not be found.”

Am I doing something wrong with the importing or is there another issue?

How did you install Anki, and are you using Python 3.9+?

I installed Anki off of Ankiweb (version 2.1.66 Qt6), downloaded the anki library with pip, and I’m running Python 3.9.1

4

Was Python downloaded from python.org? Maybe a newer 3.9.x version may fare better?

Good catch, that’s possible. While Qt is not involved here, I think we depend on some TTS functionality that was not in the original Windows 10 release.

Updating to Python version 3.11.5 fixed the problem. Thank you!
