Your solution was already stated in your PYTHONPATH topic by @Sanderd17 :

Set PYTHONPATH environment

Hi Patricia, Unfortunately, the Python used in Ignition is actually Jython 2.7 (for Ignition v8.0). That means you cannot run a Python library that’s written for python 3, and you cannot run a Python library that needs C(++) bindings. So you will not be able to use the pydim library directly. Your two options are: Use pyDIM as an external program, and communicate via the OS (i.e. https://stackabuse.com/executing-shell-commands-with-python/). This is probably the faster way to implement, but…

Jython runs in java, so you need to use DIM's java library, not its python library. Nothing you do with python or library search paths will enable dimc.so to load in java.
