Hi,
i'm trying to load some python module inside xbmc script but nothing really works.
for example i'm trying this import:
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3
and it fails with unknown module.

am i missing something?
thanks

pysqlite2 isn't included with python 2.4.

XBMC uses python 2.4 always, regardless of what is on your system.

even though i have the pysqlie libs under the sitePackages of python 2.4?

i'm using linux and eclipse ide, if i run just the core of the script inside eclipse and set my interpretor as python 2.4 everything runs ok.

i guess coping the files to the local dir would solve the problem.

As rwparris2 said, it doesn't matter what your system intrepenter is or if you have one installed
XBMC uses it's own always.

You can however forcebly import system modules, although it's not crossplattform and it's more likely to break.

Here you can see how it's done: http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/sou...n900&r=900

specifically:
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages")

However, if you need to do it seriously rethink if it can't be done in another fashion, might even be worth feature request it aswell instead of system as it's evil

Cheers,
Tobias
