[SOLVED]
I finally tracked this down to the directory caching in iu.py. This
function:
def _listdir(dir, cache={}):
# since this function is only used by caseOk, it's fine to
cache the
# results and avoid reading the whole contents of a directory
each time
# we just want to check the case of a filename.
if not dir in cache:
cache[dir] =listdir(dir)
return cache[dir]
I tried modifying it to the following, but it still wasn't
enough....the file additions and
imports were happening fast enough that sometimes the modification
time didn't change
from one to the other.
def _listdir(dir, cache={}):
# since this function is only used by caseOk, it's fine to
cache the
# results and avoid reading the whole contents of a directory
each time
# we just want to check the case of a filename.
mtime = _os_stat(dir)[8]
#print("MTIME[%s] = %s",str(mtime))
if not dir in cache or mtime != cache[dir]['mtime']:
cache[dir] = {'mtime':mtime,'files':listdir(dir)}
return cache[dir]['files']
So, I just knuckled under and just disabled the caching. After
thinking about it for
a bit, I think the caching is too dangerous anyway. The contents of a
directory are
volatile, and if one is going to have reliable behavior, we just have
to check the directory
contents in real time whenever an import is desired. So:
def _listdir(dir, cache=None):
# Once upon a time there was caching here, but it's just too
dangerous.
return listdir(dir)
Works fine.
