I have been running numpy built inplace for a long time now. As far as
I can tell, this only shows up when running numpy.test() while in the
numpy trunk checkout directory. I think it's an interaction with the
way nose traverses packages to locate tests. numpy/core/__init__.py is
a bit odd; it does "from numeric import *" and expects "numeric" to
then be in the namespace. I think this only happens when the import
machinery knows that it's in a package. nose uses __import__() when
scouting around the package, so it misses this. For example,
[~]$ ls foo
__init__.py bar.py
[~]$ cat foo/__init__.py
from bar import x
print dir()
print bar.x
[~]$ cat foo/bar.py
x = 1
[~]$ python -c "import foo"
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'bar', 'x']
1
[~]$ python -c "__import__('foo.__init__')"
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'bar', 'x']
1
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'x']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "foo/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
print bar.x
NameError: name 'bar' is not defined
