Import Python Library

[Ashley Huels]

The following code throws an "unexpected token import" error when compiled. The import is done the same way that the math block imports the random library though. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Blockly.Python['postSomething'] = function(block) {
         
     Blockly.Python.definitions_['import_requests'] = 'import requests';
           
     var code = "r = requests.post(\"http://localhost:5000/leds/6\")\nprint(r.status_code, r.reason)";
     return code;
       
};

Can you post the Python code that it generates?  That should make the error clear.

When I code = Blockly.Python.WorkspaceToCode(workspace) and print it it shows the expected code:

import requests


r = requests.post("http://localhost:5000/leds/6")
print(r.status_code, r.reason)

How are you running the generated Python?  "unexpected token import" feels like a JavaScript error, not a Python error.  Are you accidentally executing the Python code in a JavaScript interpreter?

Yeah when I was looking up the error everything pointed to JS. I basically just have:

function runCode() {
           
   var code = Blockly.Python.workspaceToCode(workspace);

    try {
        eval(code);
     }catch (e) {
         alert(e);
     }
       
}

Enter code here...

Right, the problem is eval(code).  Eval is a JavaScript function in the browser that expects JavaScript code.

If you want to run Python code, you will need to rethink your overall architecture to include a Python interpreter somewhere.
