Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Tests Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Douglas Greiman (dgreiman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Fix tests that assume they can write to Lib/test Initial Comment: A number of bsddb tests, as well as test_tarfile, create temporary files in Lib/ or {prefix}/lib/pythonX.Y/ . This change uses tempfile.gettempdir() instead. Tested on RedHat 9.0 Linux on x86. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.

That leaves only the tarfile change to commit, but I'd like to understand why it's necessary first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: A.M.
