Re: [Zope] Another import doesn't find the module

28 May 2003

      First, I realized I did not need profile.py so I removed that line of 
code. What you say about not importing directories makes sense. However 
the following doesn't:

My Structure has the following
   -FGDC (directory)
       - __init__.py
       - profile.py
       - DISTRIB.py

The line I had that read 
   from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile 
failed as you said it should. 

However, this line works like a charm:
   from Products.Resources.FGDC import DISTRIB

BTW, I always interpreted this to mean
    from <directory> import <module>

Can you explain the *why's* on this one?? Even though I can move 
forward with my coding, my mind is still stuck on why this is?

Thanks,
Stacy

Go back and look a little closer at the difference between what I 
typedand what you're using.
Both your examples attempt to import from directories, something you
simply can't do... at least not *this* way.  In Python, the word
"module" refers, typically, to a .py file.  You can't find a module
called FGDC because (according to your diagram) there isn't one.
Once you re-work import to import names from modules, I think you'll
have better luck.

I have tried both. The name of the class I am trying to import 
is 
profile. So I put
    from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile 
and I get 'cannot import name profile'
When I try 
    from Products.Resources.FGDC import * 
I get 'no module named FGDC'. But I promise there is and there 
is a 
__init__ file there this time. This module is used from many 
other 
parts in my product.
I have the PYTHONPATH right and an __init__ in both the FGDC and 
extensions folders. I am at a loss for what is happening here.
Any help is appreciated, this is the last task before deployment.

This is a different problem.  I think what you want is:
import * from Products.Resources.FGDC.profile
or
from Products.Resources.FGDC.profile import NAMES_GO_HERE

I am attempting to import another class for use and Zope now 
complains 'cannot import name profile'.
My Product structure in a bit more detail is:
Products
  - Resources
     -FGDC
         -__init__.py
         -profile.py
     -BIO
     -scripts
        -script1.py
     -dtml
     -www
     -extensions
        -DISTINFO.py which contains a class of the same name
In DISTINFO.py, I have an import statement like this:
       from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here??
Thanks in advance,
Stacy
