To add the directory where the DLL is located to the Python search path, you can use the following steps:

Here is an example of how to add a DLL permanently to Python:
Python
import os
# Find the location of the DLL.
dll_path = "C:\path\to\dll.dll"
# Copy the DLL to the same directory as the Python script.
os.copy(dll_path, ".")
# Add the directory where the DLL is located to the Python search path.
os.add_dll_directory(".")
# Import the DLL.
import my_dll
# Use the DLL.
my_dll.function()
In this example, the DLL is copied to the current directory, and the current directory is added to the Python search path. The
my_dll module is then imported, and the function() function is called.
