Hi all and thanks in advanced.
Im working on creating a python tool that will be placed in a tooblox on a network drive within my organization. The tool needs to use the xlutils module but our organization does not have the module installed on our computers. I know that if you place the module in the same folder as the scripting tool .py file you should be able to import. I set up my toolbox and placed the module in the same folder as the toolbox / script.
When I run the script from IDE everything runs fine. However, running the tool from within ArcMap yields the error:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'copy'
Anyone have no tips?
*Self taught python so sorry if i have the wrong terminology.
what are you using from that module? copy? My preference is to import the module then use module.function method of using imports (ie xutils.copy.... ) if that is indeed the function. This ensures that namespace doesn't get overwritten/redefined
Yes I am using copy from the module. For some reason importing the module then using xlutils.copy wasnt working. However, Importing as "from xlutils import copy" seemed to solve the issue. Weird because I could have sworn that was one of the first things I tried.
Thanks!
Ben
