Thanks for reporting this. I've opened bug #9066 to track this. If you don't need to add custom runtime behavior to the objects as a work around you could create a new module using imp.new_module and push the values into there. I'm marking this as a v2.0 bug but if it's blocking you let me know.
On the 2nd example you might want to try using a type other than sys as the module type. Sys is a little special in IronPython. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Foord Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 7:02 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] Problems with Imports Hello all, We do see some differences between the way IronPython and CPython resolve imports. (Tested with IP 1.0.1 I'm afraid.) We encountered these when patching sys.modules for the purposes of testing, but they could affect any code that does magic with sys.modules. It looks like you can't put arbitrary objects into sys.modules in IronPython, but you can with CPython. The following code works fine on CPython, but fails on IP : import sys class MockModule(object): def __init__(self, name): self.__name__ = name TopModule = MockModule("TopModule") sys.modules["TopModule"] = TopModule SubModule = MockModule("SubModule") SubModule.Object = object() TopModule.SubModule = SubModule sys.modules["TopModule.SubModule"] = SubModule import TopModule.SubModule from TopModule.SubModule import Object There is also another difference. The following code works fine on IronPython, but *not* on CPython import sys ModuleType = type(sys) TopModule = ModuleType("TopModule") sys.modules["TopModule"] = TopModule SubModule = ModuleType("SubModule") SubModule.Object = object() TopModule.SubModule = SubModule # Required for CPython, not IronPython # sys.modules["TopModule.SubModule"] = SubModule import TopModule.SubModule from TopModule.SubModule import Object You have to uncomment out 'the line' to get it to work in CPython. (Not worth fixing by the way - unless it means that something else is broken as a result - just a 'difference'.)
