Hello again,

I'm trying again to get g.extension working with my module and
encounter some problems. I'm using 'g.extension url=' to try the
installation process from local dir.
I manage to create a Makefile for a module with a single Python file.
Installation works fine in that case. But when I add a python module,
import it from the main file, and add it to ETCFILES in the Makefile,
the installation process does not finish:
"""
Compiling...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/grass7-laurent-12584/tmp4jPSIT/t.test/scripts/t.test",
line 8, in <module>
    import module_example
ImportError: No module named module_example
make: *** [t.test.tmp.html] Error 1
ERROR: Compilation failed, sorry. Please check above error messages.
"""

Below is the content of the Makefile:
"""
MODULE_TOPDIR = ../..

PGM = v.test

ETCFILES = module_example

include $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/include/Make/Script.make
include $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/include/Make/Python.make

default: script
"""

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

Actually, the same problem appears when trying to install r.agent:
"""
  File "/tmp/grass7-laurent-12584/tmp31YOCD/r.agent/scripts/r.agent.aco",
line 234, in <module>
    import error, grassland, anthill
ImportError: No module named error
"""

but v.class.ml worked fine. I actually copy-pasted the Makefile from there.
But it did only once. Now when I want to install it again, after
un-installing it, it ends up with the same errors:
"""
Compiling...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/grass7-laurent-12584/tmpEDt2Jh/v.class.ml/scrip
ts/v.class.ml", line 386, in <module>
    from training_extraction import extract_training
ImportError: No module named training_extraction
"""

The behavior of g.extension makes me very confused. Is there something
I'm getting wrong?

Regards,
Laurent
