Hi, all,
I'm trying to implement a simple plugin framework, with some unexpected results. I'm using Python 2.3.4 on Windows 2000.
My script loader.py loads plugin packages from a directory (in this case its own), and checks a variable defined in the package's __init__.py for information on the plugin.
Packages and modules are really rather different beasts. I wouldn't be surprised to find that 'find_module' and 'load_module' behave strangely when used for packages.
Is there any reason you can't temporarily alter sys.path and use __import__ normally? The behaviour of that is generally less quirky.
Anyway, I believe your specific problem is this line: return imp.load_module(name, None, '', descr)
Try replacing the empty string in the third argument with the path returned from the find_module call. (At the moment, it is pulling in the __init__.py from the current directory, and assigning it to the name you requested)
Cheers, Nick.
