Importing Point

[llweston]

I believe I've downloaded all of the dependencies properly, but I can't explain this issue with importing the Point class from Point.py b/c it is successfully imported earlier from the same directory (in figura.py it works, in unittest.py it does not, see below).

Tough to say on this one. I pulled the latest version and Unittest ran just fine. Hopefully you can figure it out.

I'm seeing this too:

There looks to be some automagic that's causing a circular import. The hacky solution is to just delete unittest.py from the project root. Numpy's unit test importer then doesn't find it, and try to import it.

When I run RUN_ME.py with Spyder everything works fine. If I try to run it from the command line I get the same error. I don't think I know enough about these Python intricacies to answer the problem. I'll try to mess with it some more but for now know that running it in Spyder will circumvent the problem.

fake-name is right, deleting unittest.py will also work around this problem from the command line.
