Hi All,

I took a look at csmodules.c and I wonder if this could be a cause of the issue:

PUBLIC int csoundOpenLibrary(void **library, const char *libraryPath)
{
    int flg = RTLD_NOW;
    if (libraryPath != NULL) {
      int len = (int) strlen(libraryPath);
      /* ugly hack to fix importing modules in Python opcodes */
      if (len >= 9 && strcmp(&(libraryPath[len - 9]), "/libpy.so") == 0)
        flg |= RTLD_GLOBAL;
    }
    *library = (void*) dlopen(libraryPath, flg);
    return (*library != NULL ? 0 : -1);
}

Note the "ugly hack" comment.  Also note that the it explicitly
contains .so in the name. If the issue Oeyvind and Rory reported is
only happening on OSX, it could be that this hack needs application to
the libpy.dylib that Csound loads.

Could someone on OSX give this a try?

Are they having trouble importing modules?

The initial report came from me, but I'm not on OSX myself, so not 100% sure,
but afaicr it only happens when the Python code resides in an external
(py) file.
The py file would then be imported like a module yes.

Ok, so it's something we can try. I can fire off a package from develop for one of you to try tomorrow, if you wish.
