For this particular use case, a temporary directory added to sys,path, then some subsequent cleanup of sys.modules, sys.path and sys.path_importer_cache would likely do the trick. I've actually never been a fan of using TESTFN in tests - the tempfile module always struck me as being significantly more useful. It also makes tidying up the files afterwards really easy - the temporary directory context manager will blow everything away for you. Then again, quite a few of the tests I've written involved convoluted module hierarchies, so I'm likely a little biased by my typical use cases :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
