Hi Ed

wellcome back, I hope the search for jobs and fame was fruitful

I have been trying to get the current unit tests to work from the command line e.g. ' ./unit_test_runner.py maths_fns/test_chi2.py'. However, most of them fail beacuase the global variable Debug is not defined. Chris tells me that this is because debug has been added to the python __builtins__ namespace. This points to a couple of questions

1. why are  we playing with __builtins__?
2. how do we get round this

as an aside __builtins__ is 'an implementation detail' http://docs.python.org/lib/module-builtin.html and its use will prevent relax from working on iron python, jython and pypy. So is this use of __builtins__ something we need to reconsider...

regards
gary
