Hi all, The matroid code we want to submit to Sage soon has a reasonably complex web of imports: the base class Matroid is abstract, but invokes subclasses of itself (DualMatroid, MinorMatroid, sometimes BasisMatroid) for several of the standard implementations of methods. Of course each of these, in its own file, inherits from the abstract class.
For the end user, we only want to auto-import a few classes and a constructor function. We want to use lazy_import to play nice with Sage's startup time. After a little struggle I got it to work fine (autocomplete, runtime docstrings and all), but that gives trouble with building the reference manual. I get errors like [matroids ] /Users/svanzwam/sage-5.8.beta1/devel/sage/doc/en/reference/matroids/sage/matroids/basis_exchange_matroid.rst:11: WARNING: autodoc can't import/find module 'sage.matroids.basis_exchange_matroid', it reported error: "'module' object has no attribute 'BasisExchangeMatroid'", please check your spelling and sys.path Not only that, but the corresponding documentation files will be basically empty (or, depending on the command issued, it fails to build) With normal imports these warnings vanish and the documentation builds as expected. Should I give up on lazy_import, or is there another way out? Cheers, Stefan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
