Maybe my question wasn't clear. I have a project level */custom test/*
that lives in ./test_plugins/tablinx.py relative to the root of our
project. The test itself is called mw_tab_sch_distinct, and it returns
True if two compared dicts describe functionally different "schedules"
(as per Tableau server definitions of schedules). "Functionally
distinct" means we ignore fields like "name" which can be different
without changing the timing of the schedule. Likewise we ignore the
ordering of certain internal lists since a schedule definition
containing ['Monday', 'Wednesday', 'Friday'] and another containing
['Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Monday'] are not distinct. Suffice to say, it's
nuanced.
I have another project level /*custom filter*/ that lives in
./filter_plugins/tablinx.py, also relative to the project root. The
filter itself is called mw_tab_sch_uniqcomb, and it accepts a list of
Tableau "schedule" dicts, and returns two lists. The first list contains
all the functionally distinct schedules from the input, while the second
list contains zero or more lists each of which contains two or more
functionally identical schedules from the input list.
All of this works, but only because the guts of the custom test plugin
code is duplicated in the custom filter plugin. This is DIY-wrong beyond
embarrassing. There must be a way to reference and use the custom tests
contained within ./test_plugins/tablinx.py from the custom filters
sitting in ./filter_plugins/tablinx.py.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have an application specific complex data structure and a custom

use that test in some custom filter plugin(s). What's the canonical
python way to use custom tests from custom filters?
