Hi I have a function data['function'], that I need to import from a file data['module'], in the directory data['cwd']
OT: Any good reason for using a dictionary instead of a class instance (data.functiom, data.module, etc)?
If I do this from python interactive shell (linux fedora core 8) from dir /home/mark it works fine: cwd = data['cwd'] os.chdir(cwd) print os.getcwd() module = __import__(data['module']) function = getattr(module, data['function'])
This is possibly due to python using what was the current working directory when it started up.
An alternative (untested): saved = sys.path sys.path = data['cwd'] module = __import__(data['module']) sys.path = saved Exception handling is left as an exercise for the reader. HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
