Problem with mxDateTime on HPUX 11.11 machine !

[Tien Nguyen]

Hi There,

I installed python2.3 (configured with option
--with-libs='lpthread -lcl'), and egenix-mx-base-2.0.5 on an HPUX
B.11.11 machine. Everything seems to be OK. I can start python and
import mx modules successfully.

>>> from mxDateTime import *
>>> from mxDateTime import __version__
>>> from DateTime import *
>>> from DateTime import __version__
>>>[/color][/color][/color]

The problem was that, in my c program, I call the python API:

PyObject* call_module = PyImport_Import Module("module_ name");

call_module always NULL and I got the following error on screen:

*** You don't have the (right) mxDateTime binaries installed !

I think this message comes from:
python_home/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mx/DateTime/mxDateTime/__init__.py

try:

except ImportError, why:

raise ImportError, why

# Python part of the intialization
try:

I don't know why it always raise exception like that!?

Can any python expert or mxBase expert help me with this?

Thank you very much.
