Import error in File but not REPL

[Minyiky]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a docker environment for running a micropython script, but am running into a strange issue,

I have built micropython and can enter the interactive repl and so i know micropython is working.

The issue I am facing is around importing modules, if I run a file using "micropython/ports/unix/micropython-dev imports.py" I get the following output:

Code: Select all

Plus any modules on the filesystem
None
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "imports.py", line 4, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'upip'

The script only contains 2 lines:

Code: Select all

print(help('modules'))
import upip

If however I start micropython in interactive mode I am able to import and use upip with no problems.

Has anyone else come accross something similar before?

Thanks
