New submission from Antoine Pitrou:
After installing Django, I get the following error in test_pydoc:
======================================================================
FAIL: test_url_requests (test.test_pydoc.PydocUrlHandlerTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/antoine/cpython/finalize/Lib/test/test_pydoc.py", line 581, in
test_url_requests
self.assertEqual(result, title, text)
AssertionError: 'Pydoc: Error - search?key=pydoc' != 'Pydoc: Search Results'
- Pydoc: Error - search?key=pydoc
+ Pydoc: Search Results
The reason is attempting to import a django.something module raises the
following error:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but
settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings
... which isn't silenced by pydoc.
Now I agree this is fundamentally obnoxious on Django's part, but unfortunately
it isn't the only package (IIRC) to behave in this way, meaning it would be
nice from pydoc to silence all such errors when an import is attempted.
