You must import sys first.

i have now:

import sys
import os

if '__file__' not  in globals():
    __file__ = sys.modules[__name__].__file__

print('Cwd is {}'.format(os.getcwd()))
print('Current program is {}'.format(__file__))
print('Sys.path is {}'.format(sys.path))
 
import examplemod

result:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 5, in <module>
KeyError: __main__

i'm reading it already, tnx.

[Gribouillis]

Then you could perhaps just add the correct path to the directory containing the modules in sys.path, perhaps

import sys
sys.path.append('/modules')

at the top of maintest.py (or should it be 0:/modules ?)

Also better uninstall that micropython-pathlib module that you installed. Not sure what it is.

the article says:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['0:/', '0:/lib']

and i get:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '.frozen', '/lib']

then:

So lets create a file, mod1.py which contains the following:

def hello():
print('hello from mod1')

and copy it to your internal flash

copy to your internal flash.....how to do that ?
just: save as

These are pico questions. Maybe you will have better luck on a pico forum?

BTW, I am sorry for earlier bad advice. I forgot that you were using micropython on a pico. The easiest route might be to use one file. I have no idea how to install modules on your device. I played with micropython on the LEGO Spike controller, and installing modules on that is a pain. I would write everything in one file, and after rigorous testing, I might pull out some of the code and install it as a module.

maybe i have to uninstall thonny, and then install again ?

edit:
yes,..maybe i have to ask my question on the pico forum.

thanks for so far.

That's great! I don't even understand the answers... What did you do to make it work?
