why script work in console window of PyCrust but not work when put it into function?

[Kanis]

Hi,

I am a Python beginner and using PyCrust to process data for my research work.
I found I not able to import a .py file directly. But I have to type in every lines every time. Or I can save the script in function. Then call out the function in PyCrust. But it's not convenient. And it causes global variable problem.

The case is even I import the numpy lib in the function file.py, but it shows error: “NameError: global name 'append' is not defined” when I call out the function in Pycrust. Could anyone tell me why it shows "append" is not defined even I "import numpy" already?

And how to open the script directly in PyCrust?

Besides, how can I import and export the array with PyCrust ? (As I want to export the array from PyCrust and then run it in the script with SciTE)

Thanks for help.

P.S. The versions I use are:
enthon-python2.4-1.0.0
numpy-1.0.3.1.win32-py2.4

Please try using IDLE instead of PyCrust. IDLE will let you save your scripts and run them from the Run menu.

Because the interface I using is embedded with PyCrust only. And the data is read in that interface. So if I use IDLE to process the data, I think I have to know how to export the array data first. Do u know how to import and export the array in Python?

In that case, PyAlaMode will let you save your files.

>>> import numpy
>>> a1darray = numpy.zeros(10)
>>> a1darray
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])
>>>

The interface I use can create a data array called "dataobj" already, then if I want to process the data, I open the embedded "PyCrust" console and the "dataobj" is already defined there. But if I run the Python directly (I mean not use the PyCrust inside the interface), the "dataobj" array is undefined. So, I would like to export the "dataobj" array, let say export it to a file, and then I can read it again when I use the IDLE or other Python Shell or Matlab. How can I export the array into a file?

In the console (PyCrust), the script works:

>>> def x():
... r = array([1,2,3])
... return r
...
>>> x()
array([1, 2, 3])
------------------------------------------
while I save it as a function named "f()"

import numpy
def f():
r = array([1,2,4])
return r

and call out the function in console, error arouse:

>>> from test_array import f
>>> f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Documents and Settings\wckan\My Documents\Python_script\test_array.py", line 3, in f
r = array([1,2,4])
NameError: global name 'array' is not defined

HOW CAN I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM?

 r = numpy.array([1,2,4])
