possible issue with bob.extension.config.load mechanism
In this part of the code https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.extension/blob/master/bob/extension/config.py#L82, the new config load mechanism cleans a lot of stuff from the module loading including information that might be useful (like imports).
For example, take config file example (lots of test cases from bob.bio.base
are like that):
import numpy
class RandomPrints(object):
def __init__(self):
pass
def __call__(self):
return numpy.random.rand()
random_prints = RandomPrints()
When I try to execute it:
from bob.extension.config import load
config = load(["bug_config.py"])
print(config["random_prints"]())
I got the error:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'random'
The import numpy
is lost in the context (on purpose).
This issue raises a philosophical question @bob and would be nice to have some feedback from you. The configs should be just simple configs or should carry some extra complexity (class definitions for instance)?
Thanks
