Ok, I'm new and I know this should be easy. I don't find it documented anywhere, and I've been digging through the list archives without success.
I have and external python script in the Extensions directory.
I call it, it works.
How do a call a method (module) with an absolute path name in the filesystem from this module?
I want to import my own module. Running the script from the command line honors #INCDIR to add to the path, of course, but in my zope installation, even placing the module in the Extensions directory won't accomplish the deed. Python can't find it.
zope/Extensions is not part of the sys path. To find out what it is part of it write an externa method like this: import sys def findstuffout(): return '<br>'.join(sys.path)
What am I missing here?
If you want to include your own module, write a script like this: import sys sys.path.append(r'/home/tom/py/mymodule') from mymodule import FatCalculator def calculateFat(n): return FatCalculator.run(n) This assumes that you have a folder called /home/tom/py/mymodule and in it a file called FatCalculator.py with a function in it called run(). For more advanced usage than this I strongly recommend that you write a Python Product.
Thanks for any help.
