Your solution was already stated in your PYTHONPATH topic by @Sanderd17 : > [@Set PYTHONPATH environment](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/set-pythonpath-environment/38451/2): > > 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/](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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/imp-load-dynamic-failing-from-the-escripting-console/38832)._
