Hi, i have a program with is built like this: startup.py dir1/__init__.py dir1/file1.py dir2/__init__.py dir2/file2.py dir3/__init__.py dir3/file3.py
The program works but now i want to add the functionality into an existing program 2. This is program 2: program2.py program2dir1/__init__.py program2dir1/file4.py When i copy the directories over i get this situation: program2.py program2dir1/__init__.py program2dir1/file4.py program1/__init__.py program1/dir1/__init__.py program1/dir1/file1.py program1/dir2/__init__.py program1/dir2/file2.py program1/dir3/__init__.py program1/dir3/file3.py However, i need to specify this in program2.py or i can't use the files 1-3: import sys sys.path.append('program1') import program1.dir1.file1 as f1 Then i can use the functionality of the first program in the second. Now for my questions: 1. Is this the correct way or is there an easier/more logical sollution. Now all __init__.py file are empty 2. As said this works but when i make a standalone of program2 it doesn't find any of the program1 files: Traceback (most recent call last): File "start.py", line 20, in ? File "windows\windowmain.pyo", line 59, in ? File "program1\__init__.pyo", line 2, in ? File "program1\dir1\__init__.pyo", line 1, in ? File "program1\dir1\file1.pyo", line 28, in ? ImportError: No module named dir2.file2 dir2.file2 is imported in file1.py as import dir2.file2. So something in my setup script is wrong. How can i make sure all file of program1 are also added? Excerpt of setup.py ... py_modules=['start'], packages=['database','dialogs','export','graphics','localutils','windows'], ... If i specify program1 as module or as package or program1.dir1 and so on doesn't seem to help. Any ideas? Thanks Benedict -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
