I am trying to import a module 'pychimp' from another module 'inbite'
using local_import(). Both modules are in my modules directory. When I
nest a local_import() inside another local_import() I get an error:
c...@inbite.py:
local_import('pychimp', reload=True)
>>> inbite = local_import('inbite', reload=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "gluon/compileapp.py", line 241, in <lambda>
File "gluon/compileapp.py", line 176, in local_import_aux
File "applications\inbite\modules\inbite.py", line 3, in <module>
NameError: name 'local_import' is not defined
So I try importing the module that has local_import:
c...@inbite.py:
import gluon.compileapp
gluon.compileapp.local_import('pychimp', reload=True)
>>> inbite = local_import('inbite', reload=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "gluon/compileapp.py", line 241, in <lambda>
File "gluon/compileapp.py", line 176, in local_import_aux
File "applications\inbite\modules\inbite.py", line 4, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'local_import'
Unnested, it works fine:
>>> pc = local_import('pychimp', reload=True)
Also if I import like below it also seems to work fine, but I read it
is better to import modules from the app modules directory using
local_import():
import applications.inbite.modules.pychimp as pychimp
Can anyone tell me how to do nested local_import()?
Thanks,
John
