Some test files have a set_local_path()/restore_path() pair at the top, and some don't. Is there any reason to be changing sys.path like this in the test modules? If not, I'll take them out when I see them.
The idea behind set_local_path is that it allows running tests inside subpackages without the need to rebuild the entire package.
Ah, thanks; I'd forgotten about that. I'll leave them alone, then. I made a note for myself to make sure it's possible to run tests locally without doing a full build/install (where practical).
Please remove them and adjust the imports. As I've mentioned before, numpy and scipy can now reliably be built in-place with "python setup.py build_src --inplace build_ext --inplace". This is a more robust method to test uninstalled code than adjusting sys.path. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
