New submission from Eli Bendersky: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-December/123368.html
This came up while investigating some test-order-dependency failures in issue 16076. test___all__ goes over modules that have `__all__` in them and does 'from <module> import *' on them. This leaves a lot of modules in sys.modules, which may interfere with some tests that do fancy things with sys,modules. In particular, the ElementTree tests have trouble with it because they carefully set up the imports to get the C or the Python version of etree (see issues 15083 and 15075). Would it make sense to save the sys.modules state and restore it in test___all__ so that sys.modules isn't affected by this test? ---------- assignee: eli.bendersky components: Tests messages: 178547 nosy: eli.bendersky priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: test___all__ has to save and restore sys.modules while it does all the importing type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16817> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
