I was able to determine that the missing libtiff-5.dll is in fact in the python site-packages.

SDL2_image.dll libFLAC-8.dll libmodplug-1.dll libopus-0.dll libtiff-5.dll libwebp-7.dll
My best guess is that the sdl_utils.py needs a import sdl2dll. By putting that within sdl_utils.py I was able to get passed this error, but encounter a different one.

I had the error from python 3.9 from the microsoft store. I then used pyenv for windows to install a different python version and didn’t have any issues importing the libraries
