Create Python Package with Single PYD File

Question

I have a single pyd file (dynamically linked library), say MyPackage.pyd. When putting it in the same folder as my py scripts I can simply do import MyPackage and then use its functions via MyPackage.FUNC (where FUNC is any function name).

How do I package this pyd file up into a folder under \PYTHONPATH\Lib\site-packages\ so that I can do import MyPackage without having to have the pyd file in the same folder as my scripts anymore?

My guess is I need to create a folder \PYTHONPATH\Lib\site-packages\MyPackage\, copy MyPackage.pyd into it, and then create a __init__.py file in there. But I am unsure what to write into this file?

Question Include *.pyd files in Python Packages didn't help, unfortunately.

This helped indeed. Almost too easy. – Phil-ZXX Aug 20 '18 at 14:45 — Phil-ZXX, Aug 20 '18 at 14:45

Just put the pyd file in site-pacakges folder (not in any subfolder there). It should work!
