Questions about the new plugin

A followup to the first question - I have the module SDKs for my modules

set to Java 1.6 (because I have plenty of Java code in the modules too).

Is this why the Python dependencies can't be resolved? If so is that a bug

or a feature?

First off, a big thank you for this release, it's a significant

improvement over the previous build. I've hit a couple of exceptions

and have submitted them, but generally it works well.

I have a few questions:

Is it possible to add a Python dependency between two modules? I

currently have quite a lot of Python (and Java) code in a module that

many other modules depend on. The Java dependencies obviously work

fine, but Python code in the other modules doesn't seem able to

resolve references to the common/shared module. I've tried exporting

the "Python 2.5.2 interpreter library" from the Dependencies tab of my

common module's settings but that doesn't appear to have any effect.

Not all standard libararies appear to be found when the Python SDK is

parsed. For example code that contains "import sys" complains with

"unresolved reference 'sys'". Some others that also have the same

problem include "time", "math", "thread", "select" and more. Am I

doing something stupid here?

Is it possible to include two Python facets in a single module? I

realise the answer's probably no, but we have quite a few logical

modules that have both Jython and Python intermingled and I'm

wondering what the best approach might be. Creating 40+ new modules or

shuffling around our code isn't going to be practical so maybe I just

have to live with this one.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris,

First off, a big thank you for this release, it's a significant

improvement over the previous build. I've hit a couple of exceptions

and have submitted them, but generally it works well.

This is generally supposed to work, although I don't think we have specifically

tested this case. JIRA issue is welcome.

Please try deleting and recreating the Python SDK - it will likely fix the

problem.

Why do you need to include multiple facets? If the goal is running scripts

with different interpreters, you can specify an intepreter in the run configuration.

Which case, "Module SDK being set to a JDK", or "Python dependencies between

modules (regardless of module SDK setting)"? It's the latter than seems to

be the problem.

I've opened an issue for this: http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-23515

I tried that, and invalidated caches. Still the same problem (with the exact

same python modules). However what I have just noticed is that the imports

are resolved correctly if I change the module SDK to Python rather than Java.

Of course I'd like them to resolve even if the module SDK is a JDK.

I've opened another issue for this one: http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-23516

Why do you need to include multiple facets? If the goal is running

the run configuration.

I don't need to include multiple facets really. I was thinking about the

case where I'm editing one .py file that is intended to be run with Jython,

and editing another along side it (generally in a separate subdirectory but

same module) which is intended to be pure Python. I'm not running either

Jython or Python from the IDE. I haven't yet tried configuring anything on

the Jython side so aren't really even sure what, if any, problems I'll run

in to here. I figure the solution might be similar to the SQL stuff where

certain directories and/or files can be mapped to different RDBMSes.

Chris
