Hi Nils, what is your python version? SfePy is known to work on 2.4.* and 
2.5.*. Do
you have 2.6?

• Added labels: Priority-High, Type-Defect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

so it is indeed a 2.6 issue, see http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html

Due to an implementation accident, if you passed a file path to the built-in
__import__() function, it would actually import the specified file. This was 
never
intended to work, however, and the implementation now explicitly checks for 
this case
and raises an ImportError.

Hi Robert,

In that case I use python2.6

I do not have access to Python 2.6 right now - could you try the attached 
patch, please?

If you can wait until the evening ;-) I will apply your patch and inform you 
then.

No problem. BTW. the header down to line 'diff --git ...' should not be there 
(does
it work?). Here is the real patch.

You know, those gentoo guys don't even have python2.6 yet. :)

Stop kidding and test it :)

I don't have numpy/scipy in python2.6, just pure python2.6. 

Btw, why don't you use git format-patch? I had to apply your patch with "patch 
-p0",
imho it is more robust to just use "git am".

Btw2, if you want an account on my fast computer (8 cores), send me your public 
ssh
key offlist.

I see, so let us wait for Nils :)

I do not use patches much - sfepy workflow is much simpler than that of e.g. 
sympy.
Next time I will try git format-patch.

Well, but you want more developers in sfepy, right? :) So you will have to 
learn it
anyways. :)

No problem with that :)

Great. I have applied your patch via
patch -p1 < import.patch
patching file sfepy/terms/__init__.py

./runTests.py --debug
...
snip
...
>>> all passed in 10.30 s
26 test file(s) executed in 56.30 s, 0 failure(s) of 34 test(s)

Thank you.

Cheers,

So sfepy now works with Python 2.6, great! Thanks for the testing.
