Instead, just move the "fixedpoint.py" file to your site-packages directory. You can then delete the empty fixedpoint directory, as it won't do anything except get in the way.Hello,
for the first time since getting Python I can't get a third party module to work.
I got fixedpoint.0.1.2.tar.gz from SourceForge for use with KinterbasDB. After unpacking I had a directory called "fixedpoint" which I put under my site-packages directory. There are no installation instructions and just the one module fixedpoint.py (and some documentation and examples).
All of this under Windows XP, with Python 2.4.
Now I try to use the module, but
import fixedpoint
says "ImportError: No module named fixedpoint".
I suppose fixedpoint is no package as described in the tutorial and so "site-packages" might not be the right place for it. But where does it belong? I think it should go somewhere in the Python directory tree, not among my own scripts.
Thank you, Koczian
Packages are implemented as directories, but modules are single Python files. "Site-packages" is a perfectly acceptable place to put "site modules" as well ;-)
