How do you use the standard library in IronPython?
I'll prefix this question with: No, Setting IRONPYTHONPATH is not the answer.
Anyway...
I was planning on using IronPython as a replacement for Powershell for a project, but I've been stumped before I've even started.
The very first thing I tried to do was use os.path, resulting in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named os
After messing around I finally discovered I could use the standard library by adding it manually to the path:
import sys
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\Lib")
import os
However, this is a daft idea. Hard coding the path to the python library inside my scripts is a 100% guaranteed way of making them not work at some point.
I discovered this almost immediately when I tried to use the script on a windows 7 machine and the path was slightly different ('Program Files (x86)').
So, a couple of questions here:
1) Why is it so hard to use the standard library? At the very least I would have thought the interactive prompt in VS and basic ipy.exe would have this.
2) How can I determine the directory that iron python is installed in regardless of the system I'm using? (IronPython installer setting a var perhaps?)
Just a note here; yes, I have seen some other posts saying "set your IRONPYTHONPATH". This in unhelpful. I开发者_如何学编程f I have a blank machine that means I have to:
1) Install IronPython
2) Run some crazy powershell script to search out where-ever-the-heck the standard library was installed and set a global IRONPYTHONPATH variable to it.
3) Run python scripts
I'm looking for a better way.

Edit:
The fact I'm using this to do powershell like things is basically irrelevant, but I'm trying to achieve something like:
import clr
from System.Management.Automation import RunspaceInvoke
import os
scriptRoot = os.getcwd()
runSpace = RunspaceInvoke()
cmdPath64 = os.join(scriptRoot, "..\java\...")
cmdPath32 = os.join(scriptRoot, "..\java\...")
proc = runSpace.Invoke("Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor ... ")
if proc.AddressWidth == 32:
runSpace.Invoke(cmdPath32)
else:
runSpace.Invoke(cmdPath64)
I find that for ensuring that everything works for non-developer third parties, it's usually better to use pyc.py to create DLL's and and executable. I routinely create a DLL of the python standard modules and reference that in code. See my previous answer at this question IronPython: EXE compiled using pyc.py cannot import module "os"
It's a bit workaroundish but, given that the LIB directory of ironpython is installed under the x86 program files folder in 64bit systems and on the usual program files path on 32bit systems, you could do in this way:
import sys
import System
if System.IntPtr.Size * 8 == 32: # detect if we are running on 32bit process
sys.path.append(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles") + "\IronPython 2.7\Lib")
else:
sys.path.append(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles(x86)") + "\IronPython 2.7\Lib")
import os # it works !!
Here we use %ProgramFiles%
and %ProgramFiles(x86)%
to determine the path where IronPython is installed.
Quoting wikipedia about %ProgramFiles%
variable (link):
%ProgramFiles%
This variable points to Program Files directory, which stores all the installed program of Windows and others. The default on English-language systems is C:\Program Files. In 64-bit editions of Windows (XP, 2003, Vista), there are also %ProgramFiles(x86)% which defaults to C:\Program Files (x86) and %ProgramW6432% which defaults to C:\Program Files. The %ProgramFiles% itself depends on whether the process requesting the environment variable is itself 32-bit or 64-bit (this is caused by Windows-on-Windows 64-bit redirection).
This is very odd, because if you run the the IronPython installer, and then run C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe
or C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe
, you shouldn't need to do anything to have the stdlib available.
My guess is that you have more than one IronPython and you're running the wrong one, but only because I can't think of another reason this would happen. It's supposed to Just Work.
