generate_metadata_table prints variables that I did not define

[emmanuellaiyke]

Good day,

I am currently having issues printing my defined variables without printing essm defined variables alongside. Could you look into this?

Regards.

Thanks for reporting. The problem only occurs if I import at least one variable from essm.variables. For some reason, generate_metadata_table then lists all variables from the module, even those that were not imported. Example using essm 1.1:

from essm.variables import Variable
from essm.variables.utils import generate_metadata_table
from essm.variables.physics.thermodynamics import R_mol

class var1(Variable):
    """Test variable"""

generate_metadata_table()

The table now contains all variables from essm.variables.physics.thermodynamics.
