SOLVED: Scripting question on library importing

[delray]

I’m working on a rather complex project (at least for me).
It consists of @keithlostracco 's TopArray and a scriptOp, and @imihailidis venv builder.

I had constructed a pose classifier and it was working great. Saved it. Rebooted.
Not working at all, and Im getting these odd errors that I cant seem to sort out, it seem to have to do with importing libraries. the error is:

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'numpy' has no attribute 'ma' (most likely due to a circular import). Did you mean: 'max'?

I guess my question is, for instance, if I import numpy in one text DAT where there is some python, do I need to import it again in the other textDAT? it seems like its a bit circular at this point and Im a little lost. Any help is appreciated.

Relpying to myself here.
I had a DAT text chop named ‘utils’ that I was referencing in another DAT text, but for some reason it was showing a dashed ‘reference’ connection back to the ScriptOp TOP. Changing the name text DAT seemed to have fixed as far as I can tell.

I’m curious if anyone knows why though - is there something behind the scenes where we should have a text DAT named utils?

TouchDesigner import statement is not the native python importer.

When you have a DAT of a specific name, it’s added as a module to the search path.

So, a DAT named utils, will be found and imported when you call from another script import utils.

Your python library is probably trying to import utils, but instead of finding the library it’s looking for, it’s importing your TouchDesigner utils DAT.

You could rename it to myUtils to avoid the issue.

Try and import myUtils from another DAT, and you will notice that it does work.

Thanks Michel, my biggest issue was not realizing there was a ‘utils’ DAT somewhere else! I won’t soon forget that
