In response to Kent's suggestion here is an updated post showing the
python code and the error log. The original reason for using try was
I thought maybe this was scoping problem and that maybe 2nd time
through the call it needed to import it again from scratch. As a side
observation for Kent I also tried replacing the exec on the import
statement with __init__('siberia900') and other variants using a text
variable and while they appeared to work I got a the following error
>>> __import__('siberia900')
<module 'siberia900' from 'siberia900.pyc'>
>>> siberia900.version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'siberia900' is not defined
Maybe its related don't know.
Anyway here's the original problem again with more info.
---------------------------------
current_model_name=''
def load():
global current_model_name
model='siberia900'
text1='import '+model
text2='reload('+model+')'
if model==current_model_name:
print 'here 1', text2
exec(text2)
else:
print 'here 10', text1
exec(text1)
current_model_name=model
version=eval(model+'.version')
return(version)
---------------------------------
>>> import mytest1
>>> mytest1.load()
here 10 import siberia900
'1.00'
>>> mytest1.load()
here 1 reload(siberia900)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "mytest1.py", line 10, in load
exec(text2)
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'siberia900' is not defined
