Here's what the IronPythonConsole does to import site, this should basically work for you too. Basically it looks like you're on the right path but your site.py needs to exist somewhere on your current sys.path which you haven't configured.
string site = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location; // get location of ipy.exe site = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(site), "Lib"); // + Lib CurrentPythonEngine.AddToPath(site); // add that to the path try { CurrentPythonEngine.Import("site"); // import site (any changes to sys should show up) } catch (Exception e) { MyConsole.Write(CurrentPythonEngine.FormatException(e), Style.Error); // handle errors from site } -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jesse Wiles Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 11:17 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] How to Use site.py Hi, Is there an example of how to sourcing site.py when instantiating a PythonEngine from a C# assembly can be used to add the standard CPython Lib path to that instances sys.path? Here's my C# method: private void ExecutePythonFile(string ParamScriptPath, IDictionary<string, object> ParamGlobals) { EngineOptions VarEngineOptions = new EngineOptions(); VarEngineOptions.ClrDebuggingEnabled = true; VarEngineOptions.ExceptionDetail = true; VarEngineOptions.ShowClrExceptions = true; PythonEngine VarEngine = new PythonEngine(VarEngineOptions); VarEngine.Import("site"); string VarScriptsDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(ParamScriptPath); ParamGlobals["ParameterScriptsDirectory"] = this.mScriptsDirectory; ParamGlobals["ParameterConfigurationPath"] = Path.Combine(VarScriptsDir, "configuration.xml"); EngineModule VarMainModule = VarEngine.CreateModule("__main__", ParamGlobals, true); VarEngine.ExecuteFile(ParamScriptPath, VarMainModule); } and here's the contents of my Lib/site.py: import sys sys.path.append(r'C:\Python242\Lib') Thanks, Jesse Wiles _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
