As discussed in #193, Python 3.8 no longer searches the PATH for DLLs on Windows and instead looks in standard locations. I've updated the Windows compatibility handling to account for this and use the new
os.add_dll_directory()
when possible.I also modified the tests to at least make sure the library can be imported on systems that we can't test on. This would have failed the 3.8 build last release and caught the issue earlier.
