Python 3 - importing local modules

[garrettwilliams]

Hey all,

I'm trying to make a script I wrote in Python 3 to be more modular - i.e. I want to store some of my functions in a separate file. For instance:

def find_prompt():
    screenrow = crt.Screen.CurrentRow
    x = crt.Screen.Get(screenrow,1,screenrow,30).strip(" ")

The problem is, trying to import this function into my main program it's throwing a 'crt' not defined error. I'm guessing it's because the local interpreter doesn't have a path to that function, even if SecureCRT does. With older scripts I've seen this problem addressed by putting this line of code in the main script before we import the module:

if 'crt' in globals():
    script_dir, script_name = os.path.split(crt.ScriptFullName)
    if script_dir not in sys.path:
        sys.path.insert(0, script_dir)
else:
    script_dir, script_name = os.path.split(os.path.realpath(__file__))

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. Is there something simple I'm missing? The Python3 examples I've seen haven't been complex enough to require importing other modules.

Thanks!

Hi garrettwilliams,

The code which you shared at the bottom of your post is a solution to a completely different problem.

We have put together a set of instructions for importing custom modules referencing the crt object here. While the example on the referenced page is in python 2 (it hasn't yet been tested with python 3), the concept is the same.

In the future, for better readability, please use the [CODE] and [/CODE] tags surrounding any code snippets you include, so that spacing and indentation will be visible.

Thanks! Extremely helpful.
