Hi,

I am trying to re-use a python script (saved as .py file), so that i do not have to edit all my workspaces that contain this script in a private parameter.

I tried to follow the steps in

 https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/976/how-can-i-modularize-my-python-code.html

whereby I included a couple of codes within the python startup script something like below:

when I try referring the SetReader module in a private parameter, I get an error that says 'ImportError: No module named SetReader'

Can I please get some help regarding re-using python scripts ?

Thanks very much

import sys sys.path.append(r'\\fmeserver\Functions') 
import SetReader

The most important thing is that the entry you add to the Python path needs to be absolute.

You might also want to familiarize yourself with the __init__.py convention: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/448271/what-is-init-py-for
