I'm having an issue where my Cygwin Python installation does not recognize *.pyd files. It receives an ImportError: No module named 'understand' when attempting to import the *.pyd file. It is able to detect the file with os.path.exists().
I've experimented with other *.pyd files and have the same No module named XXX issue. I don't think it's a path issue as I tried putting .py files in the folder and was able to call them for other folders. What could I do to troubleshoot this issue?

import understand
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named 'understand'
import os
os.path.exists("understand.pyd")
True
Hm, solved.... In some sense.
Cygwin's python does not allow the import of *.pyd files. I was forced to install a new version of python and use that instead.
