Hi Christian and Amaury (and anyone else with a Windows setup who would like to help!),
I noticed that both of you are contributing fixes for Windows-specific issues. Could I get your help with some other Windows issues? See e.g. the failures on http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/3.0/x86%20XP-3%203.0/builds/182/step-test/0 I'd be happy to give you some pointers on specific failures if you can't figure out what might cause them. (To find the errors, scroll to the end and then scroll up; or search for "Re-running failed tests in verbose mode".) Please CC Neal Norwitz as well, he may have some suggestions as well. Some random notes: - It looks like there are some CRLF issues. Quite a few things complain about mysterious syntax errors; I see some problems where \n characters seem to appear or disappear. - Most of the mailbox test failures seem due to a failed cleanup in the second failing test (note how it prints FAIL and then ERROR -- that suggests the ERROR happened in the tearDown()). - In general, whenever you see other failures mentioning things like "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: '@test'" it's probably a failed test not properly cleaning up; a lot of tests either don't always close files (could use try/finally: f.close()) or don't remove them. (The best way to remove files btw is typically test_support.remove().) Thanks in advance to anyone who fixes a Windows bug in Py3k! -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
