OK, I'd rather be on 3.x, but that's not going to happen today. So 2.7.
I have added directories to my sys.path hundreds of times before importing from them, and know what to expect from that. I confess, I don't have a lot of package or egg experience. However, I have a somewhat special (apparently) directory that isn't working. The traceback, when I try to import it, looks like: Traceback (most recent call last): File "t", line 17, in <module> from InfinityUnixHost.activities.ICWrap import ICWrap File "/home/dstromberg/PycharmProjects/infinity_PY/src/InfinityUnixHost/activities/ICWrap.py", line 8, in <module> from InfinityUnixHost.IPGlobal import DB_POOL File "/home/dstromberg/PycharmProjects/infinity_PY/src/InfinityUnixHost/IPGlobal.py", line 12, in <module> INTERNAL_VERSION = pkg_resources.require("InfinityUnixHost")[0].version File "/home/dstromberg/virtualenvs/dev/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 941, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/home/dstromberg/virtualenvs/dev/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 828, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'InfinityUnixHost' distribution was not found and is required by the application And a tiny test program that produces this error is: #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import os.path sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('src')) sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('eggs/InfinityCore-6-py2.7.egg')) #for directory in sys.path: # # print(directory) # if \ # os.path.exists(os.path.join(directory, 'InfinityUnixHost')) and \ # os.path.exists(os.path.join(directory, 'InfinityUnixHost/activities')) and \ # os.path.exists(os.path.join(directory, 'InfinityUnixHost/activities/ICWrap.py')): # print('found in %s' % directory) # from InfinityUnixHost.activities.ICWrap import ICWrap from InfinityUnixHost.activities.ICWrap import ICWrap dummy = ICWrap BTW, the commented-out for loop can see the file I am trying to import (when uncommented), but still, the import machinery doesn't load the module. I can't share much detail about the InfinityUnixHost internals unfortunately, but we can probably discuss it as needed. Does anyone know why import is failing in this odd way? It's not even an ImportError! BTW, this is not a package I pip installed from pypi - it's an internal-only project. Thanks! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
