http://stackoverflow.com/a/3949812</a> , as if the script of the programmable source is run by “eval” and the builtins are not imported. But I don’t understand why the behaviour is different, since it runs correctly in the local shell. I’ve also tried interactive
 debugging but I am not getting to the frame where the exception occur. Do you have any suggestion?<o:p></o:p></p>
