Failed to load a self-made package

[monodera]

I failed to load my own package with PyRAF 2.2.3.dev9+g58ab942 (installed from GitHub) with Python 3.11.11.

I set my package as follows:

directory structure

mypkg
- mypkg.cl
- hello.cl

mypkg.cl

package mypkg

print "hello, mypkg!"

task hello = "dir_mypkg$hello.cl"
task $awk = "$foreign"

clbye()

hello.cl

procedure hello (a)

string a {prompt="a word"}

begin
    print ("hello, ", a)
end

loginuser.cl

task $mypkg = /Users/monodera/tmp/test_pyraf/mypkg/mypkg.cl
set dir_mypkg = "/Users/monodera/tmp/test_pyraf/mypkg/"
set imtype = "fits"
set stdimage = imt2048

keep

When I run it in pyraf, I have the following error.

➜ pyraf

I'm wondering if there is an issue in the package definition or the code needs to be fixed.

[monodera]

If I retype mypkg, the hello procedure seems to be properly loaded and I can use it.

For a package, the proper task definition (in loginuser.cl is

task mypkg.pkg = /Users/monodera/tmp/test_pyraf/mypkg/mypkg.cl

[monodera]

Thanks! It worked.

[monodera]

Is it same for iraf ecl? In iraf, I got ERROR: task `mypkg' has no param file message.

[olebole]

You can prepend the task name with a $, i.e.

task $mypkg.pkg = /Users/monodera/tmp/test_pyraf/mypkg/mypkg.cl

[monodera]

Thanks a lot! It worked.
