<div>I've compiled Blender as a python module and installed it to the site-packages folder
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

<div>I've found that in the bin folder, I have the expected bpy.pyd file, but no DLL files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I attempt to use bpy in my ide (pycharm) I get the following error after trying "import bpy":</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Traceback (most recent call last):</div>
<div>File "<input>", line 1, in <module></div>
<div>File "E:\Applications\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2017.2.1\helpers\pydev\_pydev_bundle\pydev_import_ hook.py", line 21, in do_import</div>
<div>module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs)</div>
<div>ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've made sure to compile for release, and for x64. I've used VS 2015 and VS 2017, and Python x64 v3.5.3 (should be the same Python as Blender 2.79). </div>
<div></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this a known issue with building Blender 2.79 as a Python module? Or is the DLL not really needed?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My overall goal is to get Blender content assist in my IDE.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
