"from julia import xxx" requires "julia.call('using XXX')"

[verdimrc]

This issue has been discussed in Julia user groups (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/julia-users/oAWYShR1Pks/CYV8g2DyGeQJ).

Currently, importing Julia modules needs to be done this way:

1. import julia
2. j = julia.Julia()
3. j.call("using Clustering")
4. from julia import Clustering

Although not overly complicated, it would be convenient if the same could be achieved as:

1. import julia
2. from julia import Clustering

which is just like the original example by Jake Bolewski here.

neither of these two way worked for me.

Just found that the new syntax is

j.using("ModuleName")
from julia import ModuleName

I'm not sure this is working with recent versions of pyjulia:

In [1]: import julia; j = julia.Julia()

In [2]: j.using("DataStructures")

In [3]: from julia import DataStructures

In [4]: DataStructures.OrderedDict()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----> 1 DataStructures.OrderedDict()
