I read somewhere about somebody importing the sys.py module. I can't find the bugger on my system! I have python 2.5.1 installed on this Waxows XP machine. I did a search for sys.py in the c:\python25 folder and sys.py isn't there! Isn't it supposed to be installed by default? If not, how do I install it?
When I import sys from the command line, I get:
>>> import sys
>>>Cheers
>>> import sys
>>>Hmm, it seems to work. What did you expect to happen? :)
Hi,
Yes mawe you're right, I've tried it as well and it seems to be performing.
[list=1]<LI class=li1>>>> import sys
[*]>>>
[/list]"Sys.py" is definitely there without a doubt! What the mystery is, is why would someone want to import it?
I too found this same thing happening to me when I first started using Python and I was mystfied that something AMAZING:icon_eek: didn't happen when I first imported it, and wondered for a long time that maybe I was doing something wrong and that had I ruined Python:icon_cry:...but I know now for sure that his machine is working all right!:)

Hi,
The "Message" box is going funny again. The code should have come out exactly as theirs did...so here it is again:
>>> import sys
>>>Bye.:)

Not all modules are modulename.py files. Some of them are .pyc (Python bytecode) or .pyd (Python dll) )files. My best guess is that the module sys is written in C and is part of the Python24.dll/Python25.dll. If you run the Windows version of Python, this file is installed in the Windows\system32 folder.
>>My best guess is that the module sys is written in C
It is written in C(according to phrase in Dive Into Python).

sysmodule.h in C:\Python25\include
