Cannot find a compatible AHK DLL

[jordanbates]

For the life of me I cannot find the AutoHotkey_H ANSI 32-bit Version 1.1.8.1, or any AHK dll that is compatible with this library. If you could share your dll, or provide any other solution to this problem, that would be immensely appreciated!

It's not clear where you are supposed to place the dll files for them to be loaded. I can load the DLL manually, but when I use ahk.start(), I get an error that says:
NameError: "global name '_ahk' is not defined"

And this happens if I load my dll use ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary("C:\Path\to\dll) and store that as an object named "_ahk"

I'm using pyahk from pip in anaconda with python 2.7
