I have an import problem I can't figure out.
I am using python 2.6.6 on a debian box
In one directory (pylib) I have a file misc.py and
the file testutil.py.
from misc import Rec
ImportError: cannot import name Rec
Why can I import Rec from misc in testutil when I call testutil.py
directly but not when testutil was imported itself?
Without looking into the details, could it be that you have two misc.py
files one with and one without Rec
Well that depends on what you mean with "have". This is what
turned up when I searched for "misc.py"
$ find /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /local/home/apardon -name misc.py
-print 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/python2.6/compiler/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/PyQt4/uic/Compiler/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/numpy/oldnumeric/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/docutils/transforms/misc.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py
/local/home/apardon/src/projecten/pylib/misc.py
That last one is my file, the rest doesn't seem to be in sys.path so
they shouldn't interfere
as far as I understand. Changing the name of my file to miscutil.py
resolves the problem though.
I'll see if I can figure out more.
It seems there is a directory /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/misc in which
is an empty __init.py__ file.
As far as I understand this makes misc a package on sys.path causing the
problem.
