Importing Python module error

Question

I'm trying to run a program called Sansview with the module sansview.py.

I currently get this error:

Import error

The directory where the gui_manager.py is located is: "C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build\lib.win32-2.6\sans\guiframe"

The directory where the sansview.py is located is: "C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build\lib.win32-2.6\sans\sansview"

I believed the problem had something to do with having the wrong environmental variables set. However I currently have PYTHONPATH set to: "C:\Python26;C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build" which should pick up the gui_manager.py module.

I am running python 2.6 on Win7. If anyone could point me in the right direction of where my error could be I would appreciate it.

I think that your path should include C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build\lib.win32-2.6, as you'd want the sans module to be available in the first place. — Thomas Orozco

Try setting your PYTHONPATH to C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build\lib.win32-2.6 instead. — Eduardo Ivanec

You should have a directory on your PYTHONPATH which contains the "sans" package for "from sans.guiframe import gui_manager" to work. So I guess it would be:

C:\Python26;C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build\lib.win32-2.6

rather than just:

C:\Python26;C:\sansviewproject\trunk\build

which needs to be there.

Hope this helps.
