[IronPython] Python Command Line Compiler issues and questions

[Dino Viehland]

That works for me, I did it a little differently, but basically the same:

a:
import b
print 'hello'
b.foo()

b:
print 'goodbye'
def foo(): print 42

>ipy pyc.py /target:exe /main:a.py b.py
...

>a.exe
goodbye
hello
42

That works even if a.py and b.py aren't available after the compilation.  What I thought wasn't working w/ pyc, but maybe was working w/ the simpler one, was the more complex case involving packages:

a:
import b.c
b.c.d()

c\
                __init__.py:
                d.py:
                                def d(): print 42

I can compile a.py w/ c\__init__.py and get something that "works" but it works only if I run it from the directory that contains c.  It works because we just re-compile d.py on the fly.  But removing c causes it to break again.  Unfortunately I don't think the compiler understands packages right now and it's something we should add to the to-do list.

I am surprised one is behaving different.  It works for me w/ pyc if I keep the package directory on the path, but if I don't then it breaks.

I'm curious did you include all of your individual package files, or just __init__.py?  And were the packages on your path?

In my case I didn't have a package, merely an extra Python module, imported from the local directory.  Something like the following:

main.py
======

import extra

print extra.foo()


extra.py
======

def foo():
    return "Hello"


Does that make sense?  Can you duplicate the problem?  If not, I can create a real example for you.
