Note that the latest PythonNet is built for and includes 2.4, not 2.5, unless you¹ve built your own version. That probably means that pythonnet is looking at the PYTHONPATH for 2.4, which probably doesn¹t have imaplib installed. I¹d suggest making sure to install imaplib in the site-packages used by your PythonNet/2.4 installation... -Brian On 4/11/07 5:16 AM, "Kris Beyers" wrote:

Hi

I can import CLR, but not imaplib. Although imaplib is part of the standard python library, and I suppose I didn't need CLR. I also tried different combinations of case of the word "imaplib", since the import statement is case sensitive. Currently I have the latest Python version 25, and installed the latest PythonNet afterwards (PythonNet 1.0 release candidate 2). Also tried to include the path to the C:\Python25\Lib in the systemvariable PATH, where imaplib.py resides.

Furthermore I included C:\Program Files\PythonNet in the same systemvariable, but that's nog part of the problem I guess.

Hi

I'm trying to make a python script (which would be called from a C# application) and communicates with an IMAP server. Passing variables from C# to python and back is no problem, but when I type "import imaplib" on top of the python script to support IMAP, the script fails to run at line with following code: "func.Invoke(arguments)". Showing error message in the C# developer: "<null reference>".

I also tried to call PythonEngine.ImportModule("imaplib") first, but no change. Is there a way to import the library? Thank you in advance.

Tip: Just found out about an amazing C# developer http://www.sharpdevelop.net http://www.sharpdevelop.net/ (open source)

Regards, Kris

C# *** try { string imapUser = "kris"; string imapPassword = "a password";

PythonEngine.Initialize();

PyObject[] arguments = new PyObject[2]; arguments[0] = PyObject.FromManagedObject(imapUser); arguments[1] = PyObject.FromManagedObject(imapPassword);

PyObject pyportal = PythonEngine.ImportModule("PyPortal"); PyObject func = pyportal.GetAttr("invoker");

PyObject result = func.Invoke(arguments); this.label1.Text = result.ToString(); } catch (Exception err) { this.label1.Text = err.Message.ToString(); }

The file PyPortal.py *************** import imaplib # <-- causes error def invoker(imapUser, imapPassword): messages = [] M = imaplib.IMAP4('imap.next.mail.yahoo.com') M.login(imapUser, imapPassword) M.select() typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL') for num in data[0].split(): typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)') messages.append('Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1])) M.close() M.logout() return '<delimiter>'.join(messages)
