Dear Black Knight, I have no quarrel with you sir Knight, but I must import your parents.
SHORT VERSION: I tried three variants of "from ../brave.py import sir_robin", one works. I want to use it in a py-file to execute command-line-style and that does not work. Can someone please give me, not a bucket with the desert(s) on top, but just the thin chocolate? /per9000 (per nine thousand at gmail dot com) LONG VERSION: Since I do not want to use absoute paths I want to import a file from two folders up and then one down. This problem seems to be discussed in: http://starship.python.net/pipermail/python-au/2005/000543.html I tried following it but I did not understand and/or try hard enough and/or my father smells of elderberrys. So... ...first I tried this: "from ../brave.py import sir_robin" (and variants) But all I got was syntax or import error(s). ---------- Then I tried to fool python by walking the path up with os.chdir('..') in the line-by-line interpreter. This (surprisingly) worked just fine. C:\my\holy\grail\that_old_bridge>python >>> import os >>> os.chdir('../../py_scripts') >>> os.getcwd() 'C:\\my\\holy\\py_scripts' >>> from raw2nice_def import raw2nice >>> os.listdir('.') ['raw2nice_def.py', 'raw2nice_def.pyc', 'temp'] >>> raw2nice <function raw2nice at 0x00A28230> ---------- When I tried putting this into a program to execute command-line-style: the interesting code: import os cwd = os.getcwd() os.chdir('../../py_scripts') print os.listdir('.') from raw2nice_def.py import raw2nice os.chdir(cwd) output: > "C:\another_bridge\python\python.exe" rawhtml2nicehtml_template.py ['raw2nice_def.py', 'raw2nice_def.pyc', 'temp'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:my\holy\grail\that_old_bridge\rawhtml2nicehtml_template.py", line 10, in ? from raw2nice_def.py import raw2nice ImportError: No module named raw2nice_def.py The worst part here is that os.listdir('.') returns ['raw2nice_def.py', 'raw2nice_def.pyc', 'temp'] - meaning (to me) that Python really should "feel" my nice file but somehow still does not see it. To me this also means that python::command_line does not concurr with python::line_by_line(!?!) Can someone please give me, not a bucket with the desert(s) on top, but just the thin chocolate? /per9000 (per nine thousand at gmail dot com) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
