New submission from Daniel Wagner-Hall: Importing the same module twice should only execute its code once, and should only lead to one copy of the classes defined in the module's file.
If a subdirectory of $PWD is on $PYTHONPATH, and a package is imported both relative to $PWD and relative to that subdirectory, its code is loaded twice, and its classes are defined twice independently. Downloading the attached file, and running: mkdir folder cd folder tar xf file.tgz PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/package python main.py should print import once, but does print import twice. ---------- files: packageissue.tgz messages: 169842 nosy: daniel.wagner-hall priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Package cache doesn't cache packages with overlapping sys.path entries type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27119/packageissue.tgz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15864> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
