I've used the C api to write a method that can call any python module function. I would like to extend the interface to allow dynamically listing all python modules, and for a given module all functions, and for a given function all argument types and the return types if possible. Starting with the modules, I came up with this bit of code:
from pkgutil import walk_packages; modules=[] modules = [modules.append(item[1]) for item in walk_packages()] I then took this to my various systems for testing. It works fine on OSX and one of my Ubuntu boxes, but two of the Ubuntu boxes fail, each with a different error message. The failure is due to python importing every single module and some of the modules failing. One example is the UniConverter package - towards the end of __init__.py it calls sys.exit(0) which kills the interpreter completely. I've spent a ton of time trying to rewrite walk_packages to be robust to failure, but so far without luck. Any advice is appreciated. /Brian
