*: Do not use relative imports
Because of the way wendelin.core organizes its in-tree python importing redirector (see wendelin.py) it is possible to import the same module twice with python thinking it is importing two different modules. For example when installed in develop mode python resolves the following imports to the same bigfile/__init__.py import wendelin.bigfile import bigfile but tries to load that module twice and independently. Which leads to virtmem DSO, linked to from under bigfile/_bigfile extension, being initialized twice and complaining about that because only single gil hook should be requested to be installed: (py39.venv) kirr@deca:~/src/wendelin/wendelin.core$ python Python 3.9.19+ (heads/3.9:40d77b93672, Apr 12 2024, 06:40:05) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import wendelin.bigfile >>> import bigfile python: bigfile/virtmem.c:106: virt_lock_hookgil: Assertion `!(virtmem_gilhooks)' failed. Аварийный останов This problem was there from day 1, but it was not creating issues in practice because wendelin.core users do `import wendelin...` and there was also no problem with running pytest in the source tree. However with py39 and pytest8 we see that running pytest somehow started to unconditionally import things from under two namespaces which leads to inability to run tests even when instructing pytest to collect them via python-modules namespace instead of filesystem: (py39.venv) kirr@deca:~/src/wendelin/wendelin.core$ pytest -vsx --pyargs wendelin.bigfile.tests.test_basic ======================== test session starts ======================== platform linux -- Python 3.9.19+, pytest-8.2.2, pluggy-1.5.0 -- /home/kirr/src/wendelin/venv/py39.venv/bin/python3.9 cachedir: .pytest_cache rootdir: /home/kirr/src/wendelin/wendelin.core configfile: pyproject.toml collecting ... python3.9: bigfile/virtmem.c:106: virt_lock_hookgil: Assertion `!(virtmem_gilhooks)' failed.

The list of places where relative imports were used was small and found via $ git grep -w import |grep '\s\.' bigfile/__init__.py:from ._bigfile import BigFile, WRITEOUT_STORE, WRITEOUT_MARKSTORED, ram_reclaim wcfs/__init__.py:from .client._wcfs import \ Everywhere else we were already importing things from under wendelin namespace via fully specified module path. After the fix both $ pytest -vsx --pyargs wendelin.bigfile.tests.test_basic and $ pytest -vsx bigfile/tests/test_basic.py start to work ok from inside the worktree. /reported-and-tested-by @vnmabus /reviewed-by @levin.zimmermann /reviewed-on nexedi/wendelin.core!26
