When I import poplib I get an unresolved import error, this module is part of
the standard library.

I added it manually to forced builtins and the error goes but I don't get any
completions.

It seems to work for me without adding it to the forced builtins... Can you
just check if the folder that has the poplib.py is actually in the pythonpath
in the interpreter? Also, do you have any errors in your error log? Are you
using a virtualenv?

Cheers,

Fabio

There is no poplib.py as poplib is part of the standard library. When I switched
to a different interpreter (virtualenv) the problem went away.

When I use my system's native python interpreter (2.7) everything is fine, however
when I use a virtualenv interpreter (both with and without site packages) I
get unresolved imports for modules which are in the standard library (eg poplib,
random). I can import sys and os successfully with a ve interpreter so am wondering
what the differences between these modules are.

I've tried this with both Aptana 3 Beta and a clean eclipse classic install
with pydev from the update url (not nightly build), both have the same problem.
I've checked the log files and can't find anything of note.

I'd really like to solve this and would be interested if anyone else has similar
issues when using ve interpreters (or confirmation that others are using ve
interpreters without issue).

The issue is probably that you didn't add the path from the original interpreter
when you added the virtualenv interpreter (those paths are not checked by default).
So, remove the interpreter and add it again checking those paths.

But when you create a virtualenv you specifically don't want the original paths,
otherwise it wouldn't be a virtualenv right?

Actually, no, when you create a virtualenv it's based on an existing interpreter,
so, whatever you add to that base interpreter will be added to the virtualenv
interpreter, the good thing is that what you add to the virtualenv will not
be added to the base one.

So, the idea is to have a base with the common libraries for everything you
want and multiple virtualenv with specific dependencies.

I did what you said and it worked, but I'm still not convinced by your explanation,
I don't doubt you - I just don't understand  :) afaik with --no-site-packages
you get just the interpreter and a few other supporting bits (the python binary
is copied to the new location to create the environment and you get a new, empty
site-packages folder.

Anyway, thanks for your help (and work, I love pydev)

The problem isn't really the /site-packages folder, but the /Lib folder.
