IronPython ImportException: No module named logging

Question

I got ironpython working fine on mono, but it doesn\'t import the logging module. Executing this code:

ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine         


        

Answer 1

It's not enough to add the assemblies to your C# application. logging is written in python, and it's part of the standard library. You'll have to add the standard library to IRONPYTHONPATH as well. You can do it like this:

var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
var paths = engine.GetSearchPaths();
paths.Add(@"C:\Path\to\your\standard\library");
engine.SetSearchPaths(paths);

If you need the standard library you would probably need to ship it with your application. My suggestion is to zip it and then add the zip file to the paths.
