That's not what I am saying.

What I am saying is that if you *do not* finalize "api", then when you
try to finalize any other myownapi thing you built via create_api() it
blows up, because (at least) the aci module references directly "api",
but "api" is not finalized yet and does not have the env attributes the
aci plugin tries to use.


Try this:

python
> from ipalib import api, create_api
> myapi = create_api()
> myapi.finalize()

This ^^^ breaks.

However if you do:
> from ipalib import api, create_api
> myapi = create_api()
> api.finalize()
> myapi.finalize()

This works, as "api" has been finalized.

Simo.
