#26 Many PySolFC modules cannot be loaded on their own

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi,

many of PySolFC's modules cannot be imported on their own without first importing other PySolFC modules or doing other kinds of evil black magic. This makes reusing PySolFC's code from other code much harder. Please make its modules as self-contained and as individually loadable as possible, because this is part of the Python philosophy:

* rindolf is close to giving up on PySolFC's code.
<rindolf> Isn't the purpose of a Python module is to be loadable as it is?
<nedbat> rindolf: yes, but some are better at that than others...
<rindolf> nedbat: yes.
<rindolf> A non-modular module... ;-)
<rindolf> nedbat: oh well, I'll report it as a bug.
<rindolf> nedbat: and maybe create a branch to fix it.

Hi all,

OK, I implemented it with some tests (see "make test"), see:

https://github.com/shlomif/PySolFC/tree/pysolfc_modules_modularization

I'm going to attach a patch soon.

Patch to make sure every module can be loaded individually.
