[Unit test failure] Module symbol is not re-imported if the corresponding library is re-imported with `dy_import_module_symbols` about seattlelib_v2 HOT 4 CLOSED

See SeattleTestbed/portability#27. This test (and compaions) was made to demonstrate a current shortcoming (i.e. dy_import_module_symbols does not work correctly) versus the way Python handles these issues, so that we are gently reminded to fix this behavior.

However, the functionality is seldom used (if at all), limiting the repercussions of the problem.

I did not know that this was a known limitation of dy_import_module_symbols() (sorry about that, I should have asked). I will add a NOTE or TODO to the comment here, and in companion modules, so it's clear that this test condition is currently expected to fail.

Apologies, I should have thought about adding a note myself.

Re why it was hard to find this information in the first place: The tests were committed to SVN "back in the days", and it looks like linking between the issues (ported to GitHub) and commits (SVN r+number vs Git hash) leaves something to be desired.

The problem is not yet solved, but moved to the appropriate place now: SeattleTestbed/portability@dc68069, and also has an issue there, SeattleTestbed/portability#27. Thanks!
