[New-bugs-announce] [issue43630] unittest use dir(module) to load test cases. Run unittest file by _PyRun_SimpleFileObject, have bug

[junyixie]

New submission from junyixie <xie.junyi at outlook.com>:

_PyRun_SimpleFileObject load __main__ module at cache. Call this function multiple times, the attributes stored in the module dict will affect eachother.


for example. 
if we run test_A.py, call _PyRun_SimpleFileObject will create __main__ module, test_A.py add some attribute in __main__ module dict.

now we run test_B.py. call _PyRun_SimpleFileObject will load cached __main__ module. now in __main__ module dict, we can get test_A's attribute.




in unittest, if we execute test, and don't exit. (unittest main.py TestProgram), set exit=False.
```
    def __init__(self, module='__main__', defaultTest=None, argv=None,
                    testRunner=None, testLoader=loader.defaultTestLoader,
                    exit=True, verbosity=1, failfast=None, catchbreak=None,
                    buffer=None, warnings=None, *, tb_locals=False):
```

dir(module), We got unexpected results
```
for name in dir(module):
    ...
```

then when unittest load tests. if we use _PyRun_SimpleFileObject to run unittest, it will Repeated load test cases
```
        for name in dir(module):
            obj = getattr(module, name)
            if isinstance(obj, type) and issubclass(obj, case.TestCase):
                tests.append(self.loadTestsFromTestCase(obj))
```


```
int
_PyRun_SimpleFileObject(FILE *fp, PyObject *filename, int closeit,
                        PyCompilerFlags *flags)
{
    PyObject *m, *d, *v;
    int set_file_name = 0, ret = -1;

    m = PyImport_AddModule("__main__");
    if (m == NULL)
        return -1;
    Py_INCREF(m);
    d = PyModule_GetDict(m);
```
