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.

I think the submitter is referring to the ./Lib/test/testtar.tar file,
which one could guess is created when you run test_tarfile.py. But that
file is distributed with Python and AFAICT, test_tarfile.py doesn't create
temporary files in bad directories. So I think it is safe to close this
patch.

Committed the Lib/bsddb changes to the trunk in rev. 53264; thanks!
That leaves only the tarfile change to commit, but I'd like to understand
why it's necessary first.

Can you clarify in what cases test_tarfile writes to the current
directory?

This looks fine to me, and a worthwhile change.
