Hello world,
I had recently a very nasty bug in my python application. The context is
quite complex, but in the end the problem can be resume as follow:
2 files in the same directory :
lib.py:
>import foo
>foo.Foo.BOOM='lib'
foo.py:
>class Foo:
> BOOM = 'Foooo'
>
>if __name__=='__main__':
> import lib # I'm expecting BOOM to be set to 'lib'
> print Foo.BOOM
I was expecting 'lib' as output, but I got 'Fooo'. I don't really
understand what python mechanism I'm messing with but I have the feeling
I've misunderstood a very basic concept about class, namespace or
whatever import notion.
This is how I made it work:
>if __name__=='__main__':
> from lib import Foo # make sure Foo comes from lib
> print Foo.BOOM
I guess there is 2 different objects for the same class Foo. How I do I
make both Foo objects the same object ?
