Hi, I have a Python method that needs to use the string module. In the method body I have the 'import string' statement but when I try it => Error Type: ImportError Error Value: __import__ not found The documentation collaborates that import statements (the string module specifically) can be used in Python methods. The method body is... import string text = details y = string.split(text,"x") studentMatric = y[0] studentRecord = y[1] return studentMatric + studentRecord .., which results in the above error. Can anyone suggest a reason for this? I think (hope) it'll work if I put it in my extensions directory.
