I just realized that fixing the problem you reported is not going to be enough to allow you to run py.test to test a fresh checkout of pylib. It's so because of the following code, from py/path/local/local.py:
def pyimport(self, modname=None, ensuresyspath=True): """ return path as an imported python module. if modname is None, look for the containing package and construct an according module name. The module will be put/looked up in sys.modules. """ if not self.check(): raise py.error.ENOENT(self) #print "trying to import", self pkgpath = None if modname is None: pkgpath = self.pypkgpath() if pkgpath is not None: if ensuresyspath: self._prependsyspath(pkgpath.dirpath()) pkg = __import__(pkgpath.basename, None, None, []) assert py.path.local(pkg.__file__).relto(pkgpath) When we run "py.test <fresh-pypy-checkout>/py/test", pkgpath.basename will be 'py' and the call to __import__() will return the already import py module from /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/py. Then in the next line the assert will fail because pkgpath is <fresh-pypy-checkout>/py and pkg.__file__ is /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/py/__init__.pyc I can probably think of some hacks to make this work, but I don't think upstream will accept them, and I'm not sure it'd be worth maintaining them on my side. If you have any ideas on how to fix this on a non-hackish way I'll be glad to send it upstream. -- Guilherme Luis R.
