VamPy

Reproduceable on macOS and Linux with VamPy 2.0 or repo tip, system Python 2.7.

* Ensure that you have @vampy.so@ or @vampy.dylib@ in a Vamp plugin directory
* Place the following in a file called @Test.py@ in a Vamp plugin directory. Note that this defines its own @Feature@ class (colliding with the VamPy one), and also takes too few args to @__init__@ of the @Test@ class for it to be usable as a VamPy plugin:

<pre>
class Feature(object):
def __init__(self):

print "I am a Feature"

class Test:
def __init__(self):
print "I am a Test"
</pre>

* Run the Piper Vamp plugin server (as used by SV), e.g. with the following incantation

<pre>
$ echo '{"method": "list"}' | piper-vamp-simple-server -d json
</pre>

* Observe that the server crashes before printing the return value of the @list@ method call.

If you either remove the @Feature@ class from @Test.py@, or make the @Test@ @__init__@ method take two arguments, then it doesn't crash. If @Test.py@ is the only Python file present in the Vamp path, it also doesn't crash - there must be at least one valid Vamp plugin as well.

The crash occurs in @PyExtensionManager::cleanModule@, but it seems to be a consequence of something that happens in the preceding call to @PyExtensionManager::cleanLocalNamespace@. If you modify @cleanLocalNamespace@ so as to return immediately when the namespace name matches @"Test"@, then the crash does not occur. Alternatively you can modify @PyExtensionManager::m_exposedNames@ (the set of names cleaned from the local namespace) and remove @Feature@ to avert this crash, though presumably it would still crash if the "plugin" redefined one of the other classes.
