Question about manifest.py

[gampam2000]

Hi,

I use a custom board definition based on micropython-example-boards. Compilation works, but when I want to include/freeze a custom package it does not work.

for example in my manifest.py:

• module("bh1750.py", base_path="../../lib/bh1750/bh1750") freezes the module correctly
• package("bh1750", base_path="../../lib/bh1750/bh1750") does not work

the /lib/bh1750/bh1750/ directory consists of:

• __init__.py
• bh1750.py

I need this to work for other packages with more files.

I have read the manifest.py documentation, but maybe I missed something. Why is package not working?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You might want to take a look at the source in the micropython/extmod/asyncio directory. The manifest.py file there declares asyncio as a package.

Thanks for the info. It seem the path was wrong:

• package("bh1750", base_path="../../lib/bh1750/bh1750") does not work but

• package("bh1750", base_path="../../lib/bh1750") works. So it seems it searches for the "package" bh1750 folder in the base_path.

The documentation https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/manifest.html#high-level-functions could be a little clearer on that.
