Import errors are obsured...

[Omega_K2]

If you try to do the following:

Load a script
Script imports a lib
lib also imports a nonworking file

You'll just get an ImportError for the first lib, not the others


just a heads up..

Could you give an example so that I can test for this? Please use pastebin to post the example until our syntax bbcode gets fixed.

Thanks for reporting,

It seems to happen only with non-standard imports in packages (though I got it earlier with standard imports in a package, but I can't seem to replicate it again :S):

test2/test2.py

Syntax: Select all

from mypackage import derp

_libs/mypackage/derp.py

Syntax: Select all

__import__("This is gonna fail")

Error that shows up:

Syntax: Select all

ImportError: cannot import name derp

I'm not sure what to tell you. I assumed that "maybe" the issue was that we remove all lines that have "importlib" in them to reduce the spam within the exception printed. However, I placed some debugging messages prior to that happening, and I still get the exact same result. Maybe, instead of simply using __import__, you should use a try/except and print out (or simply raise) the exception yourself when the import fails. I am a little confused why this is happening, though. I will continue to investigate.
