cookbot's Issues

Consuming tesseract (API?) in Windows 10

I'm attempting to port this bot to Windows 10! In cookbot/ocr.py I have changed:

#libname = '/usr/lib/libtesseract.so.3'
#TESSDATA_PREFIX = '/usr/share/tesseract-ocr'
libname = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract-OCR/libtesseract-3.dll'
TESSDATA_PREFIX = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract-OCR/tessdata'

print libname
libtesseract = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(libname)

However, I observe a WindowsError (even running standalone) and can't seem to find a way to make ocr.py do whatever it's designed to do (were it running on Linux). Do you have general advice about how to use tesseract (or why cookbot consumes its API instead of running its executable)? Thanks in advance.
