Well, adding a path to sys.path and then importing is generally considered a safe bet. So it's more likely that somewhere inside your path manipulation something's going wrong. You've presumably not cut-and-pasted that code from the console (since you've got an undefined "printerparth" on the 6th line). But why not scatter some print()s and os.listdir()s around, eg: import os, sys print(sys.path) print(sys.argv[0]) scriptpath=os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) print(scriptpath) otherscriptpath = scriptpath.replace("xxx", "yyy") print(otherscriptpath) print(os.listdir(otherscriptpath)) ... and so on. Somewhere in there, I imagine something won't be as you expect. Feel free to come back here if you need more help. TJG -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
