trouble importing modules

I come from a Perl and C background and have been given an application
written in Python to maintain and I know very little about Python.
I'm having trouble at run time with importing modules. Specifically,
in several places time.strptime() is being used and Freeze is being
used to produce binaries for each platform where this application
runs. _strptime.py is also being supplied with the binaries.

The first problem I encountered coming from _strptime.py was:

ImportError: No module named calendar

_strptime.py imports calendar, but my thought was that since freeze
isn't being run against _strptime.py directly, the calendar module may
not be getting built into the resulting binary. So, I added "import
calendar" to the file I'm running freeze against. This fixed
(probably not in the proper way) the above error, but now I'm getting
from calendar.py:

ImportError: No module named datetime

So, my question is how can I ensure that all modules that
_strptime.py, calendar.py, etc. rely are built in the resulting
binaries without having to import everything explicitly in my code?

I'm using Python 2.3.4.

Thanks.

Hello all, I have a couple of questions related to module importing. 1) When I start my Python program with `python foo.py` instead of simply adding a interpreter comment on the first line and do `./foo.py`, some "local" imports fails, I guess because current working directory is different. Is CWD the only difference between running `python foo.py` and `./foo.py`? What is the recommended way? (I guess security is one aspect that can...

The pythonic way of programming requires, as far as I know, to spread a big application in plenty of more manageable scripts, using import or from ... import to connect the various modules.

Hey, Suppose I have a Python application consists of many modules (lets say it is a Django application). If all the modules files are importing sys module, how many times the sys module will be compiled and executed? Only once (the first time the PVM locates, compiles and executes the sys module)? or once for each module importing sys? Thanks.

Hello, I wrote aprogram that imports odbc and dbi. Originally I used PyWin, but now I prefer IDLE for working in Windows. Anyway, when I start my program from IDLE, it can't import the odbc and dbi modules. However, when I restart the shell and type "import odbc" at the prompt by, I don't get an error. When I try to run the program now, I get the error again. When I now type "import odbc" at the prompt, I get the error as well.
