#1 Updated by Luke Murphey over 6 years ago

Odd, this works:

import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'modular_input.zip')
from modular_input.contrib import ipaddress

  • % Done changed from 0 to 100
Observations:
  1. This works on Mac for some reason; but not on Windows and Linux
  2. You can import things like "Field" but not from the contrib directory #
Questions:
  1. Does making the path absolute make it work?
    1. No
  2. Is the modular input library valid\
  3. Can fields be imported
    1. No: this fails: from modular_input.fields import Field
  4. Does zipimport work? https://pymotw.com/2/zipimport/
    1. Yes

path_to_mod_input_lib = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file)), '../modular_input.zip')
import zipimport

importer = zipimport.zipimporter(path_to_mod_input_lib)
modular_input = importer.load_module('modular_input')
