Hi All,
I'm having a little bit of trouble using the "imp" module to
dynamically import modules. It seems that somehow cyclic references of
modules don't work.
I'm unable to get the following to work:
I've got the following files:
web/__init__.py
web/one.py
web/two.py
testimport.py
>From which web/one.py contains the line:
from web import two
and web/two.py contains the line:
from web import one
.
Now I try to import one of the two modules in testimport.py:
import imp
(mfile,pathname,description) = imp.find_module("one", ["web"])
m = imp.load_module("one",mfile,pathname,description)
When I start the file testimport.py, I get the following exception:
$ python testimport.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testimport.py", line 3, in ?
m = imp.load_module("one",mfile,pathname,description)
File "web/one.py", line 1, in ?
from web import two
File "/scripts/python/importtest/web/two.py", line 2, in ?
from web import one
File "web/one.py", line 1, in ?
from web import two
ImportError: cannot import name two
It seems that when two.py (referenced by one.py) references one.py
again, something breaks.
I'm lost. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Many thanks for any light anybody can shed on this.
Greetings
Matthias
