I recently installed a library in Python 3.3.2. I tried to import a module from it like this: import cx_Freeze.freezer
. However, cx_Freeze.freezer is not defined as I would have expected, as shown in IDLE:
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>> import cx_Freeze.freezer
>>> cx_Freeze.freezer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#9>", line 1, in <module>
cx_Freeze.freezer
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'freezer'
>>>
The same thing happens in the command line. I think I am misunderstanding what happens when you use import with dot notation; what name does the module get assigned to?
In order to fix this seeming problem, I tried import cx_Freeze.freezer as f
after restarting the shell, but that gave the same error as before. Can someone please explain why these import statements aren't giving me access to the module?
cx_Freeze/__init__.py
has the following contents:
version = "5.0"
import sys
from cx_Freeze.dist import *
if sys.platform == "win32":
from cx_Freeze.windist import *
elif sys.platform == "darwin":
from cx_Freeze.macdist import *
from cx_Freeze.finder import *
from cx_Freeze.freezer import *
from cx_Freeze.main import *
del dist
del finder
del freezer
The parts important to this question are from cx_Freeze.freezer import *
and del freezer
. The first of those lines imports everything listed in cx_Freeze.freezer.__all__
directly into the cx_Freeze
package, and the second line makes cx_Freeze.freezer
not available directly. Thus, you should probably just use cx_Freeze
; it contains all the parts of cx_Freeze.freezer
designed for external use. If you need cx_Freeze.freezer
, perhaps to use some of the private functionality, you can find it in sys.modules
:
import sys
freezer = sys.modules['cx_Freeze.freezer']
