Thanks for feedback.
This function works perfectly if I put it in c:\python21\lib
but I'm going to write a bunch of different ones and need a way
to keep them organized (other than stuffing them all in ..\lib).
Here is the signon function. All it does it print the string
that is passed to it with Day, date, and time appended to it
preceded by a line of dashes. I use it at the top of most
programs to show program name, date and time as first output
from the program.
-----------------signon module----------------------------
import time
def signon (pstring):
print ""
printstring=pstring+" "+time.ctime(time.time())
print len(printstring)*"-","\n",printstring,"\n"
return
-----------------------------------------------------------
I interactively typed in the following lines:
from mylibrary.utils import signon # (no error)
help(signon) # shows me what I expect
# Python knows about the module
signon("test")
and I get the error message.
It is not just this function, it is any working module that I put
in the package subdirectory.

Larry Bates

What was the line of code you tried to run interactively when you got the
error? I think that is where the problem lies, not with your organization. I
suspect you didn't actually call a function in signon. For example, did you
actually try something like:
>>> from mylibrary.utils import signon
>>> signon.myfunction()
If this didn't help, you need to let us know what signon actually contains?
If it is small enough perhaps you could paste the source in your reply.

Subject: Newbie & package setup
I wish to put the modules that I write that will be used in other Python
programs in the following directory structure:
c:\mylibrary------+
|
|
+-----utils--- utility modules (signon, read_ini
modules)
|
|
|
+-----ACCPAC---ACCPAC classes
.
.
.
I created __init__.py in c:\mylibrary (contents below)
#-----------------------------------------------------
# mylibrary package
#
# package placeholder
#
#
#-----------------------------------------------------
I created __init__.py in c:\mylibrary\utils (contents below)
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# mylibrary.utils
#
# package placeholder
#
# List of all modules in this package
#
__all__ = ["signon", "read_ini", "fmt_currency"]
#------------------------------------------------------------
within Python I can type:
from mylibrary.utils import signon
and it loads the signon module. I can type help(signon) and it displays
proper information.
Problem: When I attempt to use any imported functions I get the following
error
message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: object is not callable: <module 'mylibrary.utils.signon' from
'c:\python21\mylibrary\utils\signon.pyc'>
I have searched high and low for what I'm missing, but I just can't seem to
put
my finger on what is wrong.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards,
Larry Bates
