[SOLVED] Python Package

brazilnut · 04-19-2011, 06:46 AM

I've written a Python package.

Relative to the module calling it there's a directory named say 'blob', inside that is an empty file named '__init__.py', and another file named 'blobby.py', in that is one function:

Code:

def test():
	print("hello")
	return

Hopefully it'll be obvious to you, but I can't remember... But why is it not working and i'm getting the following error?

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'test'

import

Sorry, yes, import has been called, and it is indicated as found by the error.

Code:

import blob.blobby

Which works... if I use:

Code:

blob.blobby.test()

(this call didn't seem to work before, but is now)

However this is what i'm actually using:

Code:

b= __import__("blob.blobby")
b.test()

Which is still throwing the followong error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'test'

This works!

Code:

b= __import__("blob.blobby")
b.blobby.test()

as so does this...

Code:

b = __import__('blob.blobby', globals(), locals(), [], -1)

http://docs.python.org/library/funct...tml#__import__

That may work but I can't use it...

I need it like this...

Code:

b= __import__("blob.blobby")
b.test()

Arh... This works...

Code:

p= __import__("blob.blobby")
exec ("p."+"blobby"+".test()")

Thanks to this thread...
