simohe <sim...@besonet.ch> added the comment: fix_imports rewrites the import statements to local or global. When a python module loads a local extension module, this import statement should be converted to a local import (from . import extensionmodule). But when the extension module is not built yet, fix_imports does not find them (no file named extenstionmodule.[so|sl]). So it suggests a global import (import extensionmodule).
The original comment is a slightly modified version of this here: http://selenic.com/hg/file/afc02adf4ded/contrib/setup3k.py#l223 short summary: build.sub_commands in distutils.command.build should list "build_ext" before "build_py". lib2to3.fixes.fix_import will write global instead of local import statements else. ---------- assignee: -> tarek components: +Distutils -Build nosy: +tarek _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13317> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
