Yade

some modules fail to be loaded when i call a class from a python file

Asked by JOHN

Good evening,
I have the following problem

I have a python script that calls yade functions from another file.

When the other file just has the functions defined as functions (def etc) everything runs correctly

When i wrap the functions in a class i can run the yade engine and some packings, but for example
  pred = inGtsSurface(s) this line cases the error message

NameError: global name 'inGtsSurface' is not defined
And some more seemingly random functionalities fail.
Any ideas/tests you want me to run
Will be more than welcome

Thanks!
John

  File "/home/john/Desktop/workingclass/myclass.py", line 42, in run
    pred = pack.inGtsSurface(s)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'inGtsSurface'

Could you please narrow down the problem by yourself (it may explain why you don't have much replies)?
For instance, is the problem related to the fact that you manipulate two different script?
If not, is it related to the fact that you call inGtsSurface() from inside the function of a custom class?
If not, are you able to use inGtsSurface() at all in very basic cases?

That is a fair point, i apologize

I feel the issue is that within the class i cant seem to be able to import some modules (the pack module among others)

When i dont wrap those functions in a class it all works perfectly.

I also have a slight suspition that the error might be caused by calling the class from another file, but i dont know how to test it

Unfortunately i am a bit of an amateur and cant really help much
