I have been playing around with ta stand-alone python package for sage. It
works really well except that I have not found a "nice" way to import
classes into the global namespace. I suspect that it is just something in
the way that I have configured things, so I've distilled my code down to a
minimal example in the hope that some one can tell me how to fix it.
My package layout is:
package/
|- setup.py
|- mytest/
|- __init__.py
|- test.py
where the files setup.py, __init__.py and test.py are as follows:
*setup.py*
from setuptools import setup
setup(name='mytest', packages=['mytest'])
*__init__.py*
from __future__ import absolute_import
from .test import atest
from mytest import *
*test.py*
def atest():
print 'A working test'
To install this "package" you can either use plain setup tools with
sage setup.py install
but I decided to pip instead, installing it "locally" and in development mode
with:
sage -pip install -e --user .
This works fine in that I can start sage and import and use the package,
but not quite as easily as I'd like:
sage: import mytest
sage: mytest.atest()
A working test
sage: atest()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-3d2a871a5605> in <module>()
----> 1 atest()
NameError: name 'atest' is not defined
sage: from mytest import atest # manually import atest
sage: atest()
A working test
I thought that `atest` would be automatically available from the global
namespace because of either the second and or the third lines of
__init__.py. Instead, it still needs to be manually imported. Is there a
way to put atest into the global namespace when the package is imported?
Of course, it would be even better if the mytest package was automatically
imported into the global namespace at run-time.
