Dear fellow Python enthusiasts,
I trust your Thanksgiving holiday has been a relaxing one. A quick question
for you: I have a script that attempts to import my_module from a folder
that is not in Python's importable modules search path. In my script, that
I run from the command line, I have the following lines:
import os
import sys
PATH_TO_MODULE = os.path.join('path', 'to', 'my', 'module')
sys.append(PATH_TO_MODULE)
import my_module
When I attempt to run the script, I get the following error message:
ImportError: No module named my_module
In Python IDLE when I perform the aforementioned steps in the order
indicated I can import my_module successfully. My assumption is Python's
importable modules search path is in sys.path. In both cases I identify the
path to the folder containing my module, I append said path to sys.path, and
when I attempt to import my_module by either running from the command line
or in IDLE, I get different behavior. I read the information here again:
http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html
so I believe I am doing everything correctly. Am I doing something wrong ?
