Ok, this may be slightly above tutor's level, but hey, never hurts to
ask (-:
I am playing with __import__(). Here is my code:
[code]
import os.path
app_path = '/tmp/my/settings'
app_path2 = 'my/settings'
if os.path.exists(app_path + '.py'):
print "Found", app_path
try:
f = __import__(app_path, globals(), locals(), [])
print f.__name__, f.__file__
except Exception, e:
print e
if os.path.exists(app_path2 + '.py'):
print "Found", app_path2
try:
f = __import__(app_path2, globals(), locals(), [])
print f.__name__, f.__file__
except Exception, e:
print e
[/code]
The result is the first import fails and the second one works. Even
though they are the same file.
$ pwd
/tmp
$ ls
importer.py my/
$ ls my
settings.py
$ ./importer.py
Found /tmp/my/settings
No module named /tmp/my/settings
Found my/settings
my/settings /tmp/my/settings.py
What gives??
