Calling script in another file

I created a file call abc.py in my docs directory and am trying to call a function in a separate file called def.py , also in the same location.

abc.py contains
import def
blah
myfunc(1)
blah



def.py contains
def myfunc(argumentname):
blah
blah
blah

abc.py is run by a trigger in Indigo, but python fails to find def.py

What am I doing wrong? If I put def.py into Python's site-packages folder then its found but that seems a silly place to put my scripts.

Sorry for the idiot question

I assume you actually tried that without the comment character and with the correct function name?

abc.py:

Code: Select all

from def import settrv
blah
settrv(1)
blah


def.py:

Code: Select all

def settrv(argumentname):
    blah
    blah
    blah


sorry yes, that was a typo

Rename def.py to __init__.py and put it inside a folder named "def":

Code: Select all

abc.py
def
    __init__.py


Then try it.

How are you testing this? In a terminal session with those files in the current working directory?

Actually, before you do that, try:

Code: Select all

import def
blah
def.settrv(1)
blah


I have a trigger that invokes the script in abc.py. abc.py gets called fine and runs otherwise as it should. Its just the calling of the function in def.py that's going wrong.

the log file contains

Script Error abc.py: No module named myfunc

Oh. In that case you need to put the included file (def.py) in a place that Indigo puts in the search path. There's some threads about that in one of the forums. Read this one:
