I am trying to use import pcapy on one of my python files on PyCharm.

So, I have successfully installed pcapy on "Project Interpreter" but when I run the python file including import pcapy it says, 

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

How could I fix this?

Also, I have anaconda prompt, and installed pcapy successfully, by using 

pip install pcapy

And the result was: 

Successfully built pcapy
Installing collected packages: pcapy
Successfully installed pcapy-0.11.4

So, it is installed correctly, but why can it be not compiled?

Probably you did not activate your Anaconda environment before trying to use it in PyCharm. Trying to use unactivated environments in Pycharm is unsupported by Anaconda, and can lead to problems like this. So you have two options to fix this issue:

Either use anaconda prompt, activate your environment from there and launch PyCharm from there, or re-install anaconda/mini-conda with the option "add-to-path" checked. This will ensure that PyCharm can activate your environments automatically.
