<pre>This happens when liblldb.dll depends on non-system libraries (e.g.
libxml2.dll).
To reproduce this issue, build LLDB with LibXML2 and run `python_d -c "import
_lldb"`.
The error will be "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _lldb: The
specified module could not be found". Neither PATH nor PYTHONPATH makes a
difference.
Since version 3.8, Python stopped searching dlls in directories specified by
PATH.
Now such paths should be specified by calling `add_dll_directory()`
(<a href="https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#bpo-36085-whatsnew">https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#bpo-36085-whatsnew</a>).
Seems like the function call should be placed in bindings/python.swig right
before importing _lldb, however, I don't see a way to determine paths to
dependencies there.</pre>
