unable to import os

[ktxn1020]

Hi Experts,

I built a scrip file which cleans up the old log files starting from
the oldest till the necessary free space on the drive reaches.

The script ran well independently using Python's Integrated
Development Environment version 2.4.1. When it is called from Borland
C++ Builder 5 with python for delphi version 3.16, it is complained at
the line "import os", but not at the line "import nt". How can
I resolve this?

I wonder if there is a built_in command in NT OS specific to get date
and time of a file. The following command is what I used in my script
mtime = os.stat(Path + file_name)[os.path.stat.ST_MTIME]

that means that the python path is messed up, so Python cannot
find it's support libraries (usually found under c:/python24/Lib).

I have no idea what "Python for Delphi 3.16" is, so things may be
different for that distribution (if that's what it is).

adding

import sys
print sys.path

and comparing that to the actual file structure may help you figure
out what's going on.

I wonder if there is a built_in command in NT OS specific to get date
and time of a file. The following command is what I used in my script
mtime = os.stat(Path + file_name)[os.path.stat.ST_MTIME]

fwiw, that's usually spelled os.path.getmtime in contemporary python.

if you cannot import os, you can use

mtime = nt.stat("q.py")[8]

but it's probably better to fix the path issue; Python doesn't work well
without the support library.
