Modules using PyCall don't compile in Windows #468
Description
After struggling a bit with PackageCompiler I encountered the following error while trying to compile a module that use PyCall on Windows.
FATAL ERROR: Symbol "ccall_PyImport_ImportModule_23406"not found
After some digging I tried this on my Linux machine:
