Hey all,
When using boost_1_38_0\libs\python\example\tutorial, I try to import the
extension that is created (hello_ext) but get the exception, ImportError: No
module named hello_ext
Here's some details that might be needed:
OS: Windows Vista
Boost version: 1.38.0
Bjam version: 3.1.17
Python version: 2.6.2
My user-config.jam looks like this:
# MSVC configuration
using msvc : 9.0 ;
# Python configuration
using python
: 2.6
#version
: C:/Python26
#location
: C:/projects/external/python/Python-2.6.2/Include
#includes
: C:/projects/external/python/Python-2.6.2/Lib
#libraries
;
I am working with the tutorial example located here:
boost_1_38_0\libs\python\example\tutorial. When I run Bjam after I cd to
this directory, this tutorial example says that it passes all the tests and
I can check the output in the resulting files within the hello.test
directory. That's all well and good that the test can get this extension
module to work, but I want to be able to import it myself in a python
session or python file. That way I can see it work and then move on to
creating my own extensions.
I modify Jamroot so that the last few lines where it creates tests are
commented out. When I run bjam again, hello_ext.pyd remains (previously it
was being created, used for the test, and then deleted). I try to run
hello.py (which is the script that the test uses) from IDLE (which comes
with the installation of python) and it throws an exception for my import
statement
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"C:\Users\Charles\Desktop\boost_1_38_0\boost_1_38_0\libs\python\example\tuto
rial\hello.py", line 6, in <module>
import hello_ext
ImportError: No module named hello_ext
Hrmm. Okay. So I move the hello.py file into the same directory as the
hello_ext.pyd file. Run it again using IDLE, still get the exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"C:\Users\Charles\Desktop\boost_1_38_0\boost_1_38_0\libs\python\example\tuto
rial\bin\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\hello.py", line 6, in <module>
import hello_ext
ImportError: No module named hello_ext
So I guess I need some help here. I want to be able to create an extension
module and then import it in a script. This is what I was led to believe I
could do, but I do not see how. I have tried to provide all information
that I think is necessary. Any help is greatly appreciated.
