Python, install .pyd file: ImportError: DLL load failed

I am trying to install the PyLZJB.pyd file from here:

 https://code.google.com/p/pylzjb/downloads/list

I have downloaded the file and placed it in my Python27/DLLs folder where I also see some other .pyd files. I am on Windows.

I have tried 

import PyLZJB.pyd

and

import PyLZJB

Based on another answer I also tried:

import sys
sys.path.append("C:\Python27\DLLs")

before the import.

I continue to get the message:

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

There's only dlls built for Python-2.6 in the site.

You cannot use dll built for Python2.6 in Python 2.7.

Find the dll built for your system (platform, python version should match). Or build it yourself.
