PYTH — Python Issue: IDL generated module names

  • Key: PYTH-12
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3349
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Camros Corporation ( Jeffrey Marshall)
  • Summary:

    The example in Section 1.2 "Using Scoped Names" states that:
    module M

    { <IDL-deleted> }

    ;
    "would introduce a module M.py, which contains the following definitions:"

    This section never describes how the programmer gets at those names, I assume
    that if you want the definitions from module M, then you say: "import M".
    This introduces a disgusting and serious flaw in the mapping in that IDL
    compilers need to fake out the python module system and "update" IDL files.
