Yeah, I've run into that too..

It does seem like there ought to be a better way, but in order to get
around that, I just define the imports (or generate) "MyPrelude.hs" in
the current directory.

what do you do with the file then? neither loadModules, setImports,
setTopLevelModules helped me :/

That file can just consist of "import
OtherPackage.MyPrelude".

    oh that's neat!

    but what to do if MyPrelude is provided by some package?

    i get this error:

       module `MyPrelude' is a package module

    and neither

       set [languageExtensions := [PackageImports]]

    nor

       {-# LANGUAGE PackageImports #-}

    helps.

        Hello!

        Try doing this first:

            loadModules ["My.Module"]

        You may also need to set the "searchPath" - it defaults to the
        current
        director.  Another good function to know about is
        "setTopLevelModules",
        which is just like using ":load" in ghci - it imports everything
        in the
        module, including its imports.  So, I often do:

            loadModules ["MyPrelude"]
            setTopLevelModules ["MyPrelude"]

        And stick all of the things that I want to be in scope into
        "MyPrelude.hs".

             hi,

             how to use Language.Haskell.Interpreter.____setImports?

             i use it like:

                setImports ["My.Module"]

             so that my interpreted modules don't need to:

                import My.Module

             But i still get:

                Not in scope: data constructor `MyType'

             What am i doing wrong?

             Thanks in advance.
