I have a module that imports fine (i print it at the top of the module that uses it)
from authorize import cim
print cim
Which produces:
<module 'authorize.cim' from '.../dist-packages/authorize/cim.pyc'>
However later in a method call, it has mysteriously turned to None
class MyClass(object):
def download(self):
print cim
which when run show that cim
is None
. The module isn't ever directly assigned to None
anywhere in this module.
Any ideas how this can happen?
As you comment it youself - it is likely some code is attributing None to the "cim" name on your module itself - the way for checking for this is if your large module would be made "read only" for other modules -- I think Python allows for this --
(20 min. hacking ) --
Here -- just put this snippet in a "protect_module.py" file, import it, and call "ProtectdedModule()" at the end of your module in which the name "cim" is vanishing - it should give you the culprit:
"""
Protects a Module against naive monkey patching -
may be usefull for debugging large projects where global
variables change without notice.
Just call the "ProtectedModule" class, with no parameters from the end of
the module definition you want to protect, and subsequent assignments to it
should fail.
