Python binding for MuJoCo physics library using mujoco
I want to use MuJoCo (http://www.mujoco.org/), an advanced physics simulator with python bindings (https://github.com/openai/mujoco-py).
I've got my MuJoCo license file mjkey.text and added the required paths MUJOCO_PY_MJKEY_PATH, MUJOCO_PY_MJPRO_PATH to the environment variables accordingly.
MUJOCO_PY_MJPRO_PATH = C:DropboxPhDMuJoComjpro131
MUJOCO_PY_MJKEY_PATH = C:DropboxPhDMuJoComjpro131bin
However, a soon as I want to import the libray with the following simple code,
import mujoco_py
I got the following error message.

I am using a Python 3.5.1 64-bit on a Windows 7 64-bit with MuJoCo 1.31 64-bit.
I guessed the problem is due to a some kind of incompatibility, I also tried Python 3.5.2 32-bit with MuJoCo 1.31 32-bit. Even, I tried the non-logical 32-bit Python and 64-bit MuJoCo combination and vice versa.
The already compiled given example "simulate.exe" in the MuJoCo library works perfectly. So, I guess there is no problem with the 64-bit MuJoCo library that I have. ( By the way, 32-bit version of it doesn't run on 64-bit Windows )
So, the problem should probably occur when loading the C++ library to Python. I debugged and at least checked that the Python code in mujoco_py library tries to load "mujoco131.lib" ( Not "mujoco131.dll" though ) from the correct path. And then the error occurs and code fails to run further.
I am open to any kind of comments and suggestions..
Cheers! And have a nice day!
Try editing mjlib.py , replacing "bin/mujoco131.lib" with "bin/mujoco131.dll" in the loader.
I also had to explicitly specify platname = "win" in platname_targdir.py
