When use type(Key.DOWN) in python script, get NameError: Key

I read this post
https://bugs.launchpad.net/sikuli/+bug/536708

but it does not help. It did not explain what have changed in Key class from
0.9.9 and above.

My answer on your same comment with bug 536708 was, before seeing this entry:

This is because the class Key is only defined on the Jython layer, that seems not to be accessible when running sikuli-script from Java.

but it should be rather easy to circumvent, since you only have to use the corresponding unicode characters, as listed in the source of class Key:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Esikuli-dev/sikuli/0.10/annotate/head%3A/sikuli-script/src/main/python/sikuli/Key.py

You say:
Even if I put Key.py file under the import path and put from Key import * inside the sikuli.py file, it is not doing anything.

This is really strange, since Key.py only defines some constants and after importing Key.py, at least there should be no name errors any longer with something like Key.ENTER.

I did try the type(u"\ue002") , but that does not do the trick neither.
Anything wrong here?

As for the Key still won't get recognized after importing issue, that is
strange to me too, maybe it has something to do the way I call my script,
here is the command

java -Dpython.path=Lib/ -jar sikuli-script.jar TEST_SUITE_HERE

the Lib is the one extracted from the sikuli-script.jar, and inside the Lib.
In my python script, I do import like this:

from python.edu.mit.csail.uid.Sikuli import *

I found the Sikuli.py inside Lib folder, so I added "from Key import * ",
also put the key.py file under the same folder, however it still does not
recognize the class.

Maybe when I call from java, it does not use the python path Lib at all?
however if that is true, I cannot even run my script without defining the
python path.

Your import path is wrong, python.edu.mit.csail.uid.Sikuli is the old python path(0.9).
You should use sikuli.Sikuli instead in 0.10.

I tried to do that before, but the following won't work at all.
from sikuli.Sikuli import *

under the Lib folder, there is a Sikuli.py, I tried to also modify it, it
still does not work.

Actually "from Sikuli import * " works, I will see if I can get the Key_DOWN
working too

If I use

type(u"\ue002")

from Sikuli IDE it works fine, but when embeded inside python script, it
gives error like

sikuli-script.jar\Lib/python/edu/mit/csail/uid/Sikuli.py", line 403, in type
java.lang.illegalArgumentException: java.lang.illegalArgumentException:
Cannot type character (a smily face here)

Given you error message, it looks like you were running an old
sikuli-script.jar.
Can you see if your sikuli-script.jar is from the latest release?

You are right, with the latest sikuli-script.jar, the tmplib, and the Lib folder extracted from the right jar, also right "from sikuli.Sikuli import *", it works fine.

Thanks
