How to install openslide python in windows

[Kavitha Raghupathy]

Hi
I installed openslide 3.4.0 and openslide-python. When i try to run
deepzoom_tile.py i get the following messages

======================================================================================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File

    return self._dlltype(name)
  File "F:\Python342\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 351, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found
>>>
=================================================================
My windows os is 64-bit.. I downloaded openslide-win64-20140125 , unzipped
and copied all the dll files in C:/windows/system32/

is there any simple program to check if openslide is installed?


Thanks,
Kavitha.
