We don't ship the Python standard libraries (written in Python) w/ IronPython 
and os is part of the standard libraries.  IronPython just implements the 
built-in libraries which those standard libraries build upon.

The easiest way to solve this for you would be to copy the contents of the Lib 
directory below CPython on your USB drive to the Lib directory in the 
IronPython folder.  Alternately you can set the environment variable 
IRONPYTHONPATH to point to the lib directory below CPython.  Once you do that 
import os should work.

Subject: [IronPython] import os

This is a very simple and obvious question. However, I am puzzled. I cannot do
"import os" in ipy 1.0 or 1.1. Apparently, I have to import it from cpython
according to codeplex? When I try importing ftplib, it says there is no os
module. Why was an import of the os module not implemented? It would seem
there would be numerous modules dependent on it. I am using an ironpython1.1
folder which I carry with me on a usb drive. I did not "install" it on a local
machine, although I did think I would have to because I can carry the regular
python 2.4 on the usb drive. I cannot find ironpython documents or
commentaries which mention the apparent inability to import the os module.
