A Possible Bug in Call Policies

Bắt đầu với bản tái hiện pytest_isinstance_issue được liên kết và chạy lần lượt hai tệp pytest riêng lẻ, sau đó chạy toàn bộ test suite. Đọc callpolicies.cpp, overloading.cpp, test_callpolicies.py và test overloading tương ứng để so sánh các lớp Example được export và kết quả của factory. Công việc được xem là hoàn tất khi xác định được liệu Boost.Python, pytest hay Python khiến lớp không đúng được trả về, đồng thời hành vi đó được ghi lại hoặc sửa chữa.

Hi, I believe I just encountered a possible bug in boost-python...

First of all, the back story, I'm putting together a python-boost based example for my cmaketools project, which makes a cmake-based python package build as straight-forward as possible. I've taken the examples by TNG (who created his examples based off of the official documentation) and turned them into a package with modules with pytest tests. The modules based on his "09-Overloading" example is failing "08-CallPolicies" example in pytest only when they are run together.

Description

When there is a class with the same name but under different a module (in a same package?), return_value_policy<manage_new_object>() call (possibly?) picks a wrong class to instantiate under pytest running 2 test py files each testing one of the classes.

What is peculiar is that it works when only one test file is tested but fails when both are tested together. So, it could be a pytest issue (or Python's for that matter)...

Versions

Boost: 1.71 (official pre-built binary)
Boost Python DLL: boost_python37-vc142-mt-x64-1_71.dll
Python: 3.7.6 (conda)
Compiler: MSVC 2019 (16.6.1)
OS: Window 10

(Near) Minimal Example

Please find the entire example project at https://github.com/hokiedsp/pytest_isinstance_issue. Clone and run the following to reproduce (hopefully)

pip -e .
pytest tests/test_callpolicies.py # passes
pytest tests/test_nor.py # passes
pytest

Last pytest call fails with the assertion error:

    def test_callpolicies():
        f = policies.Example.factory()
>       assert isinstance(f, policies.Example) and str(f) == "factory"
E       AssertionError: assert (False)
E        +  where False = isinstance(<boost_python_example.overloading.Example object at 0x00000202D58B0300>, <class 'boost_python_example.callpolicies.Example'>)
E        +    where <class 'boost_python_example.callpolicies.Example'> = policies.Example

I'm anticipating f to be boost_python_example.callpolicies.Example but instead boost_python_example.overloading.Example.

Side Note: If CMake cannot find Boost, you need to modify Line 14 of setup.py

configure_opts = ['-DBOOST_ROOT=C:\\Users\\tikum\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\boost_1_71_0']
