[Fixed 2015-10-25] importing python modules doesn't seem to work anymore

[clintmod]

I'm running a nightly build 2014-12-17_01:01nightly and importing python modules works as one would expect but when I tried the latest GA release it's unable to resolve the module location.

My environment is Windows 7 64 bit with java 1.7 running from both the script runner and sikuli IDE

Here's a small example of the problem.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4zqrhf3n196xd3/module_example.zip?dl=0

The dir structure looks like:
module_example

• main.sikuli
  • main.py
• asdf.py
• common
  • init.py
  • module1.py

The older build from december is able to import both modules but the latest build throws:
[error] script [ main ] stopped with error in line 1
[error] ImportError ( No module named asdf )

main.py looks like this:

import asdf
from common.module1 import print_from_module_1
print "this is the main module"
print_from_module_1()
print asdf.asdf_method()

[clintmod]

Seems related to this: ImportError (module.sikuli has no module.py)

ok, I will check next week, when I am back from vacation ;-)

Should work with the nightly build 1.1.1 (when available)

just to leave it in the list

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

I have this:

• main.py
• common.py

and from main.py I do:

from common import *

and it works when launching by hitting the Run button.
But when launching from the command line, it fails:

[error] ImportError ( No module named common )

Using SikuliX 1.1.1. under Linux.

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

I've tried to do:

import sys
sys.append('/absolute/path/to/container/of/common.py')

and it keeps failing.

[RaiMan]

how do you run from commandline?

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

Thanks for your response RaiMan. :-)

runsikulix -c -r ../TestQR.sikuli/ --args myarg

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

Solved, it didn't work before, because I've put sys.path.append() after import common.
Why the current directory is in sys.path when running from the IDE, whereas isn't when running from the command line?

[RaiMan]

Without having checked accurately:

../TestQR.sikuli/

paths with ../.... are not supported as current directory in sys.path - go to the folder containing TestQR.sikuli and use

somePath/runsikulix -c -r TestQR.sikuli --args myarg

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

In sys.path, I only use absolute paths.

[RaiMan]

Yes, I have seen it.

missunderstanding, sorry: I meant, that the use of ../TestQR.sikuli/ on the commandline might lead internally to a wrong entry in sys.path, that is added by SikuliX automatically.

I will check that.

i am trying to import openpyxl in sikulix 1.1.0

import openpyxl

i am getting error as:
[error] script [ Untitled ] stopped with error in line 1
[error] ImportError ( No module named base )

inside the sikulix lib folder i have create a folder site-packages, sites.txt file with the path to my python lib files to access the python library which i have installed. other function like xlsxwriter,pyodbc, etc. are working without error.
please help me out

C:\Users\10612159\AppData\Roaming\Sikulix\Lib\site-packages
sites.txt - C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\

@JoelJoy58
it seems that openpyxl is not coded only in Python language, but contains or depends on C-based stuff. If this is true, it cannot be used with Jython (Java based).

@RaiMan
Thank you so much :)
