I am doing a tutorial that has not specified any blender version, however the book was published mars 2011 and I am using Blender 2.59.
The script is supposed to give me access to more option in 3D view under the N menu when I am in pose mode. I appended the script from an other file and in the text editor I selected it an the pressed run script and nothing happen. I tried installing python 3.2.2 but it did not help. I also add Python path to System Properties, with no luck. When I looked at the Python Console I got the message that is shown in the pic above.

do not know what I am missing.

Here is the script

When I looked at the Python Console I got the message that is shown in the pic above.

Maybe you could just tell us the text of the message. The font does not really matter much.

ImportError: No module named console_
location: unknown location

how ever I have tried more stuff and it still not work and now it say
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path
File "<blender_console>", line 1
print sys.path
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Quote:

ImportError: No module named console_

I am not sure where this is coming from exactly, but the name is wrong. You want 'console' without the underscore.

Quote:

print sys.path

For Python 3, which Blender uses now, this should be
print( sys.path)

One of the most noticeable Python 3 changes is that the print command is not a function, print().

I feel like I am not getting anywere closer to solving it.

I just know it does not work and have no clue why at all.

when i run it is say: bpy.ops.text.run_script() and that does not do anything.

Maybe I messing stuff up more by trying to fix it with out knowing what I am really doing

Atleast python seem to work and I have the latest version of both python and Blender

Hey Lilli,

it's the same with me. That's no fun. But at least i figured out how to get rid of these import error messages.

Relative import somehow does not work - sometimes at least, i'm not really sure myself if it's really tipping the scales. (okay, it's not, what virtual other than art should be somehow related to tipping scales of a real animal like a dragon, somehow fantastic imagination to have a gentle dragon jut like in never ending story as a friend. i alway wish animals could talk. :. )
Oh man, i'm drifting off the topic. Beg your merci, Mylady.
Where i was?

Ah. Yes.
I'm convinced it's not your fault.

Rather it's an import issue. So if you replace the

Code:

import ... from ...

by

Code:

import imp pathToDxfExport = 'path goes here, okay maybe one should rename the variable, do it at your desire' thefile, pathname, descriptionTriple = imp.find_module() #import functions thefile, pathname, description = imp.find_module('functions', [pathToDxfExport + '']) art = imp.load_module('functions', thefile, pathname, description)

Now the import function is available. I wrote it on my own, but it's quite messy, please don't be angry. If you wish, you may also put the import function "loadModule" directly in every file where there is something to import.

Code:

#from .export_dxf import exportDXF

then for example becomes:
exportDXFpy = art.loadModule('export_dxf', pathToDxfExport)
[/code]

Note that you don't need the "art." prefix if it (the helper - i always have to think of harry potter, i'd better say Dobby - function) is located, i mean declared, in the same file.


The function itself works as follows: (again using imp import-module)

Code:

Oh yes, and please don't forget, that only the first two and the last one kind a do what they are expected to - but they are far from being as nice as fairytales.

Hope i didn't confuse you,
