Hi, I think some months ago the default code when adding a new Python program in the RoboDK tree has been changed in how RoboDK packages are loaded and 'RDK' is assigned. (Post edit: as I read here now:Python API for RoboDK 5.4.0)

The 'old' lines of code are as below, and I could use e.g. ITEM_TYPE_PROGRAM to search for a robot program:

Code:

from robolink import * # RoboDK API
from robodk import * # Robot toolbox
RDK = Robolink()

prog = RDK.Item('myProgram',ITEM_TYPE_PROGRAM)
print('Program name: ' + prog.Name())
raise Exception('Eof exception.')

This still works fine, the program is found and its name gets printed. The version with the 'new' preamble is however:

Code:

from robodk import robolink # RoboDK API
从robodk进口robomath #机器人工具箱
RDK = robolink.Robolink()

prog = RDK.Item('myProgram',ITEM_TYPE_PROGRAM)
print('Program name: ' + prog.Name())
raise Exception('Eof exception.')

The latter results in an error:NameError: name 'ITEM_TYPE_PROGRAM' is not defined.
When I use:prog = RDK.Item('myProgram',8)using an integer 8 instead of the ITEM_TYPE_PROGRAM string, the item does get found.

Why do I get this error? And as it seems to have something to do with the loading of packages, how do you recommend to load the required packages?

Best regards,
