I am experimenting with boost python, and am using the<br>the run-test function in the jam file.<br>However I cant get my python tests to read the common<br>definitions declared in my python extensions __init.py__ file<br>
<br>At the moment I am working round the problem, by coping and pasting<br>the common code into each of my python tests.<br><br>I have the following directory structure:<br><br>Pyext<br>   src<br>       // cpp and header files for python extension called _ecf<br>
<br>   ecf<br>       __init.py__<br><br>   test<br>       TestClient.py  // python test files<br clear="all"><br>I want my python test file to be able to access the common<br>functions defined in ecf/__init.py__.<br> <br>
<br>My Jamfile look like:<br>......<br>local rule run-test ( test-name : sources + )<br>{<br>    testing.make-test run-pyd : $(sources) : : $(test-name) ;<br>}<br><br># Declare test targets<br>run-test TestClient     : _ecf [ glob test/TestClient.py ] ;<br>
.....<br><br>In order to pull in the __init.py__ i tried:<br><br>run-test TestClient     : _ecf [ glob test/TestClient.py ]  [ glob ecf/__init.py__ ] ;<br><br>but this lead to the following error:<br><br>/var/tmp/ma0/boost/boost_1_42_0/tools/build/v2/build/generators.jam:1113: in ensure-type from module generators<br>

<br>I tried other variation but all to no-avail.<br>Any help appreciated.<br><br>   Best regards,<br>Ta,<br>    Avi<br><br>
