+    # TODO: fix model caching
+    # model_test.run_one() is directly forcing a reload of the module, but
+    # sasview_model is caching models that have already been loaded.
+    # If the sasview load happens before the test, then the module is
+    # reloaded out from under it, which causes the global variables in
+    # the model function definitions to be cleared (at least in python 2.7).
+    # To fix the proximal problem of models failing on test, perform the
+    # run_one() tests first.  To fix the deeper problem we should either
+    # remove caching from sasmodels.sasview_model.load_custom_model() or
+    # add caching to sasmodels.custom.load_custom_kernel_module().
