This sounds promising, but I will have to have a much better understanding of distutils than I do just at the moment to try it. I’ll see what I can figure out. N On Apr 28, 2014, at 9:53 AM, Robert Kern <robert.kern@gmail.com> wrote:

From the lack of response to my email two weeks ago, I guess that there isn't really a good way to distribute a library function for testing. When ctypes functionality was initially included, the test function used was part of the standard library, to avoid this same problem. I propose that we therefore do one of two things.
The stdlib tests ctypes by building a Python extension module `_ctypes_test` along with all of the other stdlib extension modules. It is careful to `EXPORT` all of the symbols that will be needed. We could do the same here. We will just have an extra _private extension module built along with all of the others while scipy is building. It will not be compiled during the unit test.
