index out of range

Hello,

"except ImportError: # argparse not present, print error message
> raise RuntimeError("\n\nPlease install 'python-argparse' package.\n")

exactly as the error says, package python-argparse is missing. On ubuntu run
sudo apt-get install python-argparse

cheers

in fact, i had already installed it. so it doesn't work. it still has the" index out of range" problem.

Please put here complete error, system you use and Yade version.
Thanks
Jan

the complete error is as follows:

Yade [1]: import sys

Yade [2]: sys.path.append('/home/thusunwei/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM')

Yade [3]: from yadeimport import *

i use the ubuntu version 14.04 and Yade version is 2017-02-07.git-11c276f

Thanks for info,
empty sys.argv is not standard. A workaround should be

argv = sys.argv
sys.argv = ['whatever']
from yadeimport import *
sys.argv = argv

Anyway, why you import Yade into Yade session? :-) (based on #4)

cheers
Jan

thank you jan. That solves my problem.
The reason why i import Yade into Yade session is to take Yade as an object to couple with FEM(Like OOFEM).

now I input

Yade [1]: import sys

Yade [2]: sys.path.append('/home/thusunwei/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM')

Yade [3]: from yadeimport import *

but errors happen as
"bash: syntax error near unexpected token '''/home/thusunwei/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM'"

can't read /var/mail/yadeimport

I think it is strange because it is OK a period of time ago.

> "bash: syntax error

the "bash" looks very suspicious.. could you please send all commands (including console command starting yade or possibly even some console commands before) you use?
Also please provide complete error
thanks
Jan

the console commands is as follows:
thusunwei@thusunwei:~$ cd /home/thusunwei/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM
thusunwei@thusunwei:~/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM$ ln -s /home/thusunwei/myyade/build/bins/yade-2017-02-07.git-11c276f yadeimport.py
thusunwei@thusunwei:~/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM$ import sys
thusunwei@thusunwei:~/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM$ sys.path.append('/home/thusunwei/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM')
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `'/home/thusunwei/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM''
thusunwei@thusunwei:~/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM$

they are like the commands in https://www.yade-dem.org/doc/user.html#python-specialties-and-tricks.
But I don't know what is the wrong.

Thanks, now it is much more clear :-)

> thusunwei@thusunwei:~/myyade/trunk/py/FEMxDEM$ import sys

here is the problem, you are still in a linux shell, you have to start python/ipython first. Then you can write "import sys" and other lines. Or you can put all the commands into .py file and call "python someFile.py"

cheers
