Import error: No module named P4API

Question

I tried downloading the Perforce for python API (Platform independent)version from here and tried executing a simple connect() script:

from P4 import P4, P4Exception
p4 = P4()
p4.port = "111"
p4.user = "xxx"
p4.client = "yyy"
p4.connect()

I have this script and p4.py and the remaining dist stuff(c++ files) in the same folder. But I get this error:

Importerror: No module named P4API.

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

So I found out what was messing things up. My Python 2.7 is 32 bit and the Perforce build which I downloaded (and which is put up on their site) is 64 bit. Here's the link you have to follow if you have a 32 bit Python.

This link has the 32 bit python distribution of P4P

To check whether you have a 32 bit or 64 bit Python just go to your command line and start the python shell(type python). The first line contains this information.
