This module is somewhat lenient as far as ``libmpv`` versions are concerned but since ``libmpv`` is changing quite frequently you'll only get all the newest features when using an up-to-date version of this module. The unit tests for this module do some basic automatic version compatibility checks. If you discover anything missing here, please open an `issue`_ or submit a `pull request`_ on github. -Python 2.7, 3.5 or 3.6 (officially) -................................... +On Windows you can place libmpv anywhere in your ``%PATH%`` (e.g. next to ``python.exe``) or next to this module's +``mpv.py``. Before falling back to looking in the mpv module's directory, python-mpv uses the DLL search order built +into ctypes, which is different to the one Windows uses internally. Consult `this stackoverflow post +<https://stackoverflow.com/a/23805306>`__ for details. + +Python >= 3.5 (officially) +.......................... The ``master`` branch officially only supports recent python releases (3.5 onwards), but there is the somewhat outdated but functional `py2compat branch`_ providing Python 2 compatibility. |
