No, here is another alternative: ==> _example.py <== def foo(): print(__name__) ==> example.py <== def foo(): print(__name__) try: from _example import * except ImportError: pass ==> test_example.py <== import sys sys.modules['_example'] = None import example example.foo() del sys.modules['_example'] import _example as example example.foo() With the code above, $ ./python.exe test_example.py example _example If we move import to setUp(), we can run each test case twice: with and without native code. Tests that are specific to one implementation can be run once or skipped conditionally on per test method basis. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7989> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
