Didn't know I could do "from mine.mycalc import numberCommas". Thanks, Dick ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Try what you did in the first one: from mine import mycalc print mycalc.numberCommas(12341234123) or from mine.mycalc import numberCommas Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

If the program that does the import is also in site-packages\mine, that would explain it. When you run a script its directory is added to sys.path. Normally you will need to either - make 'mine' be a package, by creating an empty file named site-packages\mine\__init__.py, and changing your imports to include the package name (from mine import mycalc), or - add site-packages\mine to sys.path, maybe by creating a .pth file. http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.3/lib/module-site.html Gee, maybe I should just invite you over and we can talk ;) Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] question about sys.path and importing
This morning I was sternly warned by Wingware support not to leave my module of useful functions in Python25\Lib. So I put it in a subfolder in site-packages I named "mine". Importing of or from that module, mycalc.py goes well, to my surprise, because of >>> import sys >>> [x for x in sys.path if "site-packages" in x] ['e:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages', 'e:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'e:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'e:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin', 'e:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.6-msw-unicode'] >>> in which "mine" isn't included, even though other folders in site-packages are. Can someone explain this, please? Dick Moores ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
