Question

In pydev I have a python package called webcrawler. This package is in the directory ‘/home/raido/Workspace/WebCrawler’ The package contains a number of modules; website, tier, referrer, etc. etc… Each module contains a series of functions. I wanted to use one of these functions in another pydev project so I typed….

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/raido/Workspace/WebCrawler')
from webcrawler import website

print website.getXmlLang('http://www.google.com')

The script runs fine and runs the function that prints out the information. What I don’t understand is why the word website in the “from webcrawler import website” line is underlined in red. The error says…

Unresolved import: website
website Found at: TestUrl

from webcrawler import website

However, everything appears to run fine. Is this a pydev bug? How do I fix this? I tried doing it this way.

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/raido/Workspace/WebCrawler')
from webcrawler.website import getXmlLang

print getXmlLang('http://www.google.com')

Even though this also works doing it this way also underlines the import “getXmlLang” in red.

You should add all libraries used by your project in PyDev – PYTHONPATH/External Libraries tab which you can find in project’s properties. This should solve the problem.
