Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: svenn (sven_nystrom) >Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: import module with .dll extension Initial Comment: In previous versions, extension modules with the file extension '.dll' could be imported using a single 'import' statement. In 2.5a1 this seems to have changed - here's an example: >>> import minx # Implemented in a .dll - fails Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named minx >>> import imp # Workaround >>> import os >>> minx = imp.load_dynamic('minx', os.getcwd() + '\\minx.dll') I would really like this to remain the same; if that's not possible, it would be helpful if the change itself and a suggested approach were to be included in the documentation. /Sven ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-04-19 00:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I believe this was an intentional change in rev 43622. I don't see any doc associated with the change however. I also thought it was mentioned on python-dev. Martin, shouldn't this be documented at least in Misc/NEWS? I couldn't find anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1472566&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
