Hi Jonathan, You may be getting this error because you do not have __future__.py in the path.
See the following examples: 1. When you do not have __future__.py C:\ip2\IronPython\Public\Src\Test>ip IronPython 1.0.2396 on .NET 2.0.50727.42 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. >>> from __future__ import division Traceback (most recent call last): File , line 0, in <stdin>##1 File , line 0, in __import__##5 ImportError: No module named __future__ 2. create a file __future__.py with content below( or use the attached one): division=1 with_statement=1 now, invoke ironpython C:\ip2\IronPython\Public\Src\Tests>ip IronPython 1.0.2396 on .NET 2.0.50727.42 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. >>> from __future__ import division >>> #you still can not import with_statement since it is Python25 feature >>> from __future__ import with_statement Traceback (most recent call last): SyntaxError: future feature is not defined: with_statement (<stdin>, line 1) You still get error for with_statement because, it is enabled only with -X:Python25 switch. 3. Now invoke ironpython with -X:Python25 and you can import with_statement also. C:\ip2\IronPython\Public\Src\Tests>ip -X:Python25 IronPython 1.0.2396 on .NET 2.0.50727.42 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. >>> from __future__ import with_statement >>> Hope this helps.
