[Vincent](http://stackoverflow.com/users/5573130) notes that he has the same problem, running Python 2.7.9 on Windows 7 64 bits with IBM MQ client 8.0.0.4. — cgmb, Nov 17 '15 at 18:44
I am also facing the same issue. I am running Pythong 2.7.12 on Windows x86 with MQ v7.5.0.2. Has anybody found the solution yet ? — Piyush, Nov 18 '16 at 06:02

There is a solution on this page: https://github.com/dsuch/pymqi/issues/35

First in pymqi/pymqe.c file the declaration line

MQCSP csp = {MQCSP_DEFAULT};

should be moved to the beginning of method pymqe_MQCONNX, right after:

PyObject* user_password = NULL;

After doing this the build and installation succeed but import pymqi gives an error:

ImportError: No module named pymqe

This can be fixed by copying pymqe.pyd from the path \pymqi-1.5.4\build\lib.win32-2.7\pymqi, to pymqi-1.5.4\pymqi
