This fake title of a Madonna song
expresses my despair in searching for stubs for RLpy,
the mysterious and elusive Python for iClone (8).
My secret agents scattered around the world have revealed to me that
I can obtain _RLPy.pyi from _RLPy.pyd, and that in _RLPy.pyi
I will find my treasure to build an intellisense structure
for a thousand plugins that I will give to the first person who answers me
clearly:
How do I convert _RLPy.pyd to _RLPy.pyi?
How do I load _RLPy.pyi into VSCode or VS Studio to generate these
āfantasticā plugins without fumbling around?
Iām sure that you did a search already: āconvert .pyd to .pyiā.
I did and it tells you what to do. However, there are requirements:
Important Requirements
- Importability: Because
.pyd files are compiled binaries, the conversion tools must āimportā them to see their contents. Ensure you have all necessary dependencies (like specific C++ runtimes) installed, or the tool will fail to load the module.
- Python Version: You must use the same Python version and bitness (32-bit vs 64-bit) that the
.pyd was compiled for, otherwise it will not load.
- Manual Refinement: Automated tools may struggle with complex types or missing docstrings. You might need to manually edit the resulting
.pyi file to add specific type hints like List[int] if the tool only detects Any.
Most likely, RL uses .pyd files to prevent you from doing just that.

.pyd files are binary files, so they cannot be converted to .pyi directly. You should try converting iClone 8\Bin64\RLPy.py to a .pyi file instead.
