ImportError: No module named in IDA script

Question

I executed a IDA test.py script on Ubuntu with this command './idal -S"test.py" -t', there would be a error - no module named xxx, i imported xxx module in this script, but when i separately executed test.py, it is OK. I do not know why this happened? why it can not find xxx module? but when i execute it under Windows version IDA, it is OK.

Answer 1

Try placing your test.py in another directory. The file python.cfg in the cfg folder in the ida directory contains the following by default:

// Remove current directory from import search path

   REMOVE_CWD_SYS_PATH = 1

Please let me know if this helped.
