[IronPython] Hosted IronPython "cannot import" error

[Dave Fugate]

Just curious; what happens if you cd to site-packages and try to run the same import directly from ipy.exe (with the -X:ExceptionDetail flag)?  Based on the fact you can get this to work with IDLE, I'd guess packetlogic is C-based and hence subject to http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=11333.

My best,

Dave

Subject: [IronPython] Hosted IronPython "cannot import" error

Hi.
I have been trying to implement a hosted IronPython solution in C#.  I have been successful at executing basic python code, but  I am having problems when trying to import a module.

The module I am trying to call is the packetlogic API for a traffic shaping device, and I have been able to use it with IDLE, but not IronPython.  (http://www.proceranetworks.com/pythonapi.html)

I was origionally getting the error of  “name ‘packetlogic2’ not defined, but I noticed that the sys.path was empty when I ran the program.  So I set the path to the folder where the module is located using  AddToPath() in the PythonEngine, and now I am getting the current error “cannot import PLv11 from packetlogic2.v11.plapi”

v11 and plapi are both folders that are under the packetlogic2 folder in “site-packages”, but it acts like it cannot find them.  Is there some other  path that I need to setup?  Any ideas?

Thanks
