New submission from Chris Jerdonek: This issue is to make whatever changes are necessary to remove the skip from test_subprocess's test_executable() test (currently skipping machines that are neither Windows nor Mac):
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/ef90c5e482f4/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py#l203 The test currently fails on several Linux buildbots, but the test succeeds on Mac and Windows. Perhaps this points to a different, underlying issue that needs to be fixed. Either way, we should be able to test Popen()'s executable argument on Linux machines. This issue seems closely related to closed issue #7774. Below is more information from a buildbot about the failure (the AMD64 Ubuntu LTS buildbot): http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Ubuntu%20LTS%203.3/builds/38/steps/test/logs/stdio FAIL: test_executable (test.test_subprocess.ProcessTestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/python/3.x.langa-ubuntu/build/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py", line 205, in test_executable self._assert_python(["doesnotexist", "-c"], executable=sys.executable) File "/opt/python/3.x.langa-ubuntu/build/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py", line 201, in _assert_python self.assertEqual(47, p.returncode) AssertionError: 47 != -6 ====================================================================== FAIL: test_executable (test.test_subprocess.ProcessTestCaseNoPoll) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/python/3.x.langa-ubuntu/build/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py", line 205, in test_executable self._assert_python(["doesnotexist", "-c"], executable=sys.executable) File "/opt/python/3.x.langa-ubuntu/build/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py", line 201, in _assert_python self.assertEqual(47, p.returncode) AssertionError: 47 != -6 test_executable (test.test_subprocess.ProcessTestCase) ...
