Davin Potts added the comment: Though this issue is specifically concerned with runpy APIs and their impact especially in running unittest test scripts, it's worth commenting here for people who need a workaround in the short term: code such as that shared in http://stackoverflow.com/q/41892297/1878788 can be made to run happily by creating a second script which imports the first and simply runs the test(s) from there.
In the specific case of the 'forkiter.py' from http://stackoverflow.com/q/41892297/1878788, one would create a 'run_my_tests.py' with the contents: from forkiter import main if __name__ == "__main__": exit(main()) Now this invocation of cProfile runs happily because pickle is able to see the module where all the needed classes/functions were defined: python3.6 -m cProfile -o forkiter.prof ./run_my_tests.py ---------- nosy: +davin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9914> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
