Addon Folder Name Doesn't Permit Module Import

[Alec Vallintine]

The blog post here implies that you should be able to import the module “import_daz” into a python script using 1.4.2. However, when you install the 1.4.2 addon from the dropbox link here, it actually installs into the folder “import-daz” which doesn’t allow importing as a module.

Yes, and this is exactly why the add-on name was changed after 1.4.2. Version 1.4.2 is the last version where the add-on is called import-daz. In the development version, which will become version 1.5.0 in the not-too-distant future, the name is import_daz with an underscore. See https://diffeomorphic.blogspot.com/2020/06/daz-importer-versions-142-and-15.html.

Right, so maybe the blog post should mention that you can’t actually run the script with 1.4.2 like it says?

“To run this script you need version 1.4.2 of the Daz importer…”

In the mean-time, you can change the name of the add-on by hand.

Yep, I already figured that out. Thanks!
