I have a problem where type comparisons don't work in a second module when
unit tests in the first module are run. In the example below, class Test is
declared in one.py. When one.py is executed, it calls a method in two.py
that imports Test from one.py. The problem is that the Test object passed
into the run method is in the "__main__" namespace, while the Test class
imported from one.py is in the "one" namespace. Comparing type(a) and Test
returns False, even though they are both Test objects. How can I tweak
these modules so that the type comparison returns True?
I suppose one solution is to redesign my solution to not compare types, but
I would still appreciate a solution for my personal knowledge.
**** one.py ****
class Test(object):
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
import two
two.run( Test() )
**** two.py ***
*def run( a ):
from one import Test
print type(a), Test, type(a) == Test
*
*** Output ***
*<class '__main__.Test'> <class 'one.Test'> False
