After reading Guido's blog post and noticing his comment about lack of delegation, I decided to delegate to myself a look at struni and what tests were failing (which turned out to be a lot).
I just started at the beginning and so that meant looking at test_anydbm. That's failing because _bsddb.c requires PyInt_Check or PyString_Check to pass for keys. That doesn't work in a world where string constants are all Unicode. =) So, my question is how best to handle this test (and thus other tests like it). Should it just continue to fail until someone fixes _bsddb.c to accept Unicode keys (and thus start up a FAILING file listing the various tests that are failing and doc which ones are expected to fail until something specific changes)? Or do we silence the failure by making the constants pass through str8? Or should str8 not even be used at all since (I assume) it won't survive the merge back into p3yk? -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
