Note that imports are subtley different than getattr behavior... does your main main 'pypackage' package contain something like the following in its __init__? from subpackage import * -Brian On 7/31/07 9:22 PM, "Alberto Berti" <alberto@metapensiero.it> wrote:

Hi all,

i'm in the process of embedding python in a C# application. After initializing the engine, my application imports via (ImportModule) a custom package which contains the python side of my code.

doing the following code raises an AttributeError Exception:

PyObject pypackage = PythonEngine.ImportModule('pypackage'); PyObject sub_module = pypackage.GetAttr('sub_module'); <-- raises the exception here

One other thing that isn't working is a non empty __init__.py inside the package; trying to import any symbol defined in the __init__.py also raises an AttributeError.

instead, this line works as expected:

PyObject pypackage = PythonEngine.ImportModule('pypackage.submodule');

I've tried the code with the old trunk and with the newer Christian's one.

am I doing something wrong? Anyone as any clue?

thanks in advance

Alberto

That doesn't work under Python unless pypackage import submodule in its __init__.py: $ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35) [GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
