[LabPython-Users] Importing Modules

[Gustav M. <gu...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have just started using LabView (8.2) and LabPython and I am having
trouble importing modules. My code essentially looks like this:


import socket

class CLASS:

    def __init__(self,attribute):
        self.item = socket.socket()
        [...]

When running the code in LabView (filename Test2.vi), via New Session -> Set
Script -> Compile -> Execute Script, I get the following error message:


Error 1050 occurred at PYTHON Execute Script__ogtk.vi
->Test2.vi:<type 'exceptions.NameError'>,
global name 'socket' is not defined


The code works just fine outside of LabView. Is there some barrier I am
unaware of, and is there a way to avoid/cirumvent it?

Thanks!

Gustav
