It seems to me that the problem is the address test in PyObject_IsInstance(), because different import forms produce objects with different addresses. A limited workaround would be to test for class name but that doesn't include subclasses or types. So, instead of: if isinstance(obj, class): use if obj.__class__.__name__ == 'classname': -------Sample-------------------- Python 2.1.1 (#2, Jul 25 2001, 17:54:11) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from spam.eggs import SpamAndEggs >>> import spam.eggs >>> '0x%x' % id(spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs) '0x8161ce4' >>> '0x%x' % id(SpamAndEggs) '0x814c29c' >>> sag = spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs() >>> isinstance(sag, SpamAndEggs) 0 >>> isinstance(sag, spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs) 1 >>> sag.__class__ <class spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs at 0x8161ce4> >>> sag.__class__.__name__ 'SpamAndEggs' >>> SpamAndEggs.__name__ 'SpamAndEggs' >>> spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs.__name__ 'SpamAndEggs' >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Luis P Caamano (lcaamano) Date: 2001-10-02 14:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=279987 With the site-packages/pkg1.pth file: >>> from pkg1.spam.eggs import SpamAndEggs >>> import spam.eggs >>> '0x%x' % id(SpamAndEggs) '0x814e174' >>> '0x%x' % id(spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs) '0x8168fac' >>> import pkg1.spam.eggs >>> '0x%x' % id(pkg1.spam.eggs.SpamAndEggs) '0x814e174' >>> It is starting to make sense. -- lpc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luis P Caamano (lcaamano) Date: 2001-10-02 13:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=279987 After getting your email I went and rechecked things in site-packages and the only suspicious thing was a .pth file. I removed the .pth file and now I'm getting the same address. I'm still investigating. At this moment I have no idea why I'm getting different objects. Let me investigate a little bit more and I'll get back to you. I apologize for not having verified this better. -- Luis Caamano ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Date: 2001-10-02 12:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6380 We need more information: please show all code involved (use the file upload, please check the checkbox or the upload won't work; you must be logged in to SourceForge as yourself). >From the session you post, it seems that there are two distinct SpamAndEggs objects, but without seeing your code it's hard to understand why. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=467267&group_id=5470
