ImportError when running terminal command in maya standalone

[likage]

Hi everyone, I am trying to run a terminal command while using maya.standalone and run into some problems.

There is this terminal command in which if I run `someCommand my_file.txt`, it works correctly, as I expecting it to be.

When I tried to incorporate it into my script:

os.system('someCommand /user_data/some_file.txt')

I was prompted with the following error when I tried to execute it with Mayapy command:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/server/scripts/someCommand", line 6, in <module>
    import os
ImportError: No module named os

Tried using `subprocess` but same error persists. How can I rectify this and why is it that `os` module error occurs?

In my python file, `os` is working for sure..

So if you have a script that does nothing except "maya.standalone.initialize()"  and "import os", you are seeing this import error?

Are you doing anything to modify the PYTHONPATH?

Also, this does not solve your problem but is relevant, just so you know, import pymel.core will take care of the initialization in one line, you read more about it here. But if you want to be more explicit about it (which I think you should be) then your initialization code is better.
