5 years ago Hi @whogben,
You should try to do dir(pixy) once the import is done
This should show you the attributes of your imported pixy module, typically you should have a __file__ and/or a __package__ attribute that should give you the folder from where you module comes from (maybe the folder is wrong and doesn't contain the full library...)

First, thank you so much for making Godot Python, this is really exciting and powerful!
I don't know much about python, but I hope to use it as a bridge to let me control robots w/ Godot. For this am using godot-python to interface with modules that control the servos and interface with the sensors. I have been successful with this simple motor controller but now I am stuck trying to incorporate this more complex vision module.
I will first describe what worked with the motor controller and then where I'm stuck with the vision module.
motor controller (working) With the motor controller, I downloaded the Maestro.py file and included it in the project. I created a new Node script in python and with "import Maestro" I was able to access and use the code in the Maestro.py file. The next problem was the lack of a serial library, which I downloaded and built for my OS with brew/macports. After locating the resulting library folder ("serial") I copied it from my system python to the game python, putting the entire folder into game/pythonscript/osx-64-cpython/lib/python3.6/site-packages/. This all works - I am able to use game logic to move the robot successfully.
vision sensor (not working) With the Pixy vision sensor I attempted the same process: I downloaded the pixy code and built the library's python examples following these instructions. The build process was/is wonky, but the result is working with the sensor: I can use python3 on the command line to run the built examples which confirms that my system python is successfully interacting with the sensor.
I then copied the entire resulting folder into the game directory, examples and all, and confirmed that the same examples run on the terminal in the new directory.
Next I tried to import and use the library from a new Node script, and while the "import pixy" does not cause an error or warning, nothing is accessible, for example:
pixy.init() -> AttributeError: module 'pixy' has no attribute 'init'
The overall start of the console log reads:

Thank you for looking at this!
