Hello,
when executing the call_model.py script, I get the following error

(py36) D:\PROJECTS\Practice Model\host>python call_model.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "call_model.py", line 19, in
import model
File "D:\PROJECTS\Practice Model\host\model.py", line 11, in
import _model
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

It will be much helpful if someone could guide me on this. Also what is the correct directory for the call_model.py script? Should it be inside the host/build folder?

Thanks!

you just need move call_model.py up one level in your folder hierarchy. call_model.py and tutorial_helpers.py should live in the same folder that contains "host". You can see what this is when you look at tutorial_helpers.py which is setting up a module search path for the "host" folder.

Another possibility is missing open_blas DLL dependency.

Looks like it's unable to load one of the binaries: _model.pyd or _model.lib. I'm running on Python 3.8 & Windows 10 x64. Would appreciate any help.
