[Pyobjc-dev] Dumb Question about objc.loadBundle

[Pierce T. W. I. <pi...@ma...>]

  So I want to use PyObjC in order to create unit tests, simple tools,  
etc. using our custom framework.

  Given that I'd like to use PyUnit (unittest) for all this, that means  
I'l be writing lots of little python files that define a unit test  
class and have:


  if __name__ == "__main__":
	runTest()

  So the tests can be run individually from the command line, or via a  
test tool, or various grouping scripts will import other tests and run  
them a group.

  The gotcha for me is that loadBundle both loads the framework, and  
exports/imports the symbols. In other words, its a little heavier of an  
operation then just an import.

  So my dumb question:

  Let's say I have a bunch of test files:

  test1,py, test2,py, test3,py,

  All with:

#!/usr/local/bin/python
import random
import objc
import Foundation
from Foundation import NSCalendarDate
NSCalendarDate.distantPast()

objc.loadBundle("EOAccess",  
globals(),bundle_path='/System/Library/Frameworks/EOAccess.framework')
objc.loadBundle("EOControl",  
globals(),bundle_path='/System/Library/Frameworks/EOControl.framework')
objc.loadBundle("exim",  
globals(),bundle_path='/Marketocracy/Frameworks/exim.framework')
objc.loadBundle("MChannel",  
globals(),bundle_path='/Marketocracy/Frameworks/MChannel.framework')
objc.loadBundle("MRPC",  
globals(),bundle_path='/Marketocracy/Frameworks/MRPC.framework')
objc.loadBundle("StandardAndPoors",  
globals(),bundle_path='/Marketocracy/Frameworks/ 
StandardAndPoors.framework')
objc.loadBundle("MFoundation",  
globals(),bundle_path='/Marketocracy/Frameworks/MFoundation.framework')
objc.loadBundle("ObjectModel",  
globals(),bundle_path='/Marketocracy/Frameworks/ObjectModel.framework')

At the top.

Will the extra "loadBundle" calls cause me problems?
