Python Editor Intellisense Does NOT Work With "from import" Statement

Scripting
1

I have my common scripts in file called CommonScripts. When I import that file, intellisense stops working. Why? If I comment out the from import line, intellisense works but then of course I cannot run/debug my code until I uncomment it.

from CommonScripts import *

ISTR this is a known bug… in any case I have heard something similar previously. Is this with the old EditPythonScript editor?

Yes. I didn’t realize in v8 there was a new one. I’m assuming the new one is accessed via the Script Editor command. I’ll just use the new one.

Well, the new one also has its share of issues, but I’m not sure if they’re going to fix anything in the old one…

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

When I ran scripteditor for the first time it said it was initializing Python 3 but when the script editor came up it was in vbs mode. I searched through the options see if there was an option to change it to python mode with no avail. Shouldn’t it switch between vbs and python seamlessly? How do I do this? Also when I create a new file it automatically uses a vbs template. Should it come up and ask whether or not I was vbs vs python? Also, the intellisense is acting like my python files are vbs files.

Is there a way to clear out some setting to force Rhino to re-init the script editor? Maybe that will help.
