Hi Old hand at perl, giving python a try. Trying to get pymedia running on my winxp box.
Have installed activestate python 2.4 and pymedia using precompiled installers. Problem is it SEEMS that the __init__.py is not getting run when I import a module. So, I have pymedia installed and it imports fine: >>> import pymedia >>> dir(pymedia) ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__'] >>> the init file looks like this: (docs and comments skipped) print "in pymedia" # added by me to see __all__= [ 'muxer', 'audio', 'video', 'removable' ] import muxer, audio, video, removable but I can't import submodules of pymedia: >>> import pymedia.sound Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named sound >>> if I do this >>> from pymedia import * >>> import pymedia.sound Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named sound >>> the weird thing is teh IDE (pythonwin) knows about the sub modules - it shows them in the auto-suggest thingy when I type "pymedia." so what's going on? do I have an install problem? (I did try removing and reinstalling, no avail) am I just misunderstanding how this should work? all helpful stuff much appreciated Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
