Import a custom python library

[coppelia]

Code: Select all

#luaExec sim = require('sim')
#luaExec additionalPaths = {sim.getStringProperty(sim.handle_app, 'scenePath')}

from myModule import myFunction

def sysCall_init():
    sim = require('sim')
    print('starting')
    myFunction(sim)

In your myModule.py, e.g.:

Code: Select all

import datetime

def myFunction(sim):
    sim.addLog(sim.verbosity_scriptinfos, str(datetime.datetime.now()) + ' : Hello')

i.e. you need to pass the sim object as function argument.

Or maybe better like that:

Code: Select all

#luaExec sim = require('sim')
#luaExec additionalPaths = {sim.getStringProperty(sim.handle_app, 'scenePath')}

import myModule

def sysCall_init():
    sim = require('sim')
    print('starting')
    myModule.init(sim)
    myModule.myFunction()

and:

Code: Select all

import datetime

def init(a):
    global sim
    sim = a

def myFunction():
    global sim
    sim.addLog(sim.verbosity_scriptinfos, str(datetime.datetime.now()) + ' : Hello')

Ok, many thanks, it worked the following way

Code: Select all

#python
import sys
modulePath = 'C/:path/to/my/module/folder'
sys.path.append(modulePath)

and then calling the init function after declaring sim and simIK variables

Code: Select all

sim = require('sim')
simIK = require('simIK')

myModule.init(sim, simIK)

which is a bit cumbersome, but I guess is the only way to do it.

However, what I dont understand is why 'C:/path/to/my/module/folder' is not directly added by default, since I explicitely wrote that path in the 'usrset.txt' file

additionalPythonPath = 'C:/path/to/my/module/folder'

Shouldn't that option allow Coppelia to find all the .py script files in that folder?

Why do I have to add it manually in every child script?

Indeed...

you can pull lua and that should be resolved.

Ok, thanks for that commit.

But my company is stuck with CoppeliaPro v4.6 so I guess we can't have access to those last code changes...

[coppelia]

Have a look at the last commit, you should be able to figure out the changes to make.

Cheers
