This has me pretty confused. I've installed pyad using pip and everything seems fine:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install pyad
Collecting pyad
Using cached pyad-0.5.16.tar.gz
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in c:\python35\lib\site-packages (from pyad)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pywin32 in c:\python35\lib\site-packages (from pyad)
Installing collected packages: pyad
Running setup.py install for pyad ... done
Successfully installed pyad-0.5.16
But when I try to use it, I get an error that complains about not finding adbase:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>python
Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec 6 2015, 01:54:25) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pyad import aduser
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\pyad\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named 'adbase'
>>> import pyad

from adbase import set_defaults as pyad_setdefaults
ImportError: No module named 'adbase'
This is odd, because if I try to uninstall pyad or if I check the site-packages directory, adbase is definitely there:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip uninstall pyad

Proceed (y/n)?
pyad directory contents
I'm really not sure what else to try. I've run everything under an elevated command prompt, so it's not a permissions issue. I even tried downloading pyad and installing it using setup.py, but I had the same problem with that. adbase is definitely there, and I can't figure out why Python isn't finding it.
