I have some windows ddl (no idea where they come from), and I would like to use them in a Python script running on Ubuntu. Does someone know if it is possible?

  • @KlausD. I have already seen that question, and since I did some research about the argument, I guess there are other way to solve the problem nowadays, Since 5 years passed from last answer. – Polivicio Oct 08 '20 at 12:27

DLL libraries are very OS dependent, so that library built for windows cannot possibly work in unix like OS.

Ive use WINE for this type work.

More friendly Wine based platform CrossOver, Ive use it for MacOS

Its already discussed at Stack

  • Thanks @TimurU, Could you please tell me where can I find a tutorial or a guide regarding the use of dll with WINE? Looking around I found this github repo https://github.com/taviso/loadlibrary that seems to solve the problem. Have you seen this before? – Polivicio Oct 08 '20 at 12:33

To use Windows DLLs inside a linux environment, you need an platform like WINE. It converts Win32 API calls to POSIX calls on the fly.
