I am trying to add an external python library from a third party software
into Spyder so I can work with it. I have already tried the following:
- Adding library path containing .py files to Tools>PYTHONPATH manager
- Synchronizing the path
- Updating module names list through Tools>Update Module names list
However, when I try to import modules from this library I get two types of
errors:
import easy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-2-685519d35f15>", line 1, in <module>
import easy
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Plaxis\PLAXIS 2D\plxscripting\easy.py",
line 24, in <module>
from .server import Server, InputProcessor
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
The second type of error as follows:
from plxscripting.easy import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-1-a40c101d3bb0>", line 1, in <module>
from plxscripting.easy import *
ImportError: No module named plxscripting.easy
I don't understand why Spyder is not recognizing these libraries. The path
has been added and shows up on the manager. What constitutes a python
module? Is it not just the .py file with module name prefix? Is not the
path sufficient to work with the library through the IDE?
