Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I just noticed that the Tk tests still get skipped on my machine, and rediscovered this issue. The reason that MacOS.WMAvailable() returns False on the buildbot is because it runs "./python.exe", which is not part of an application bundle and therefore has no GUI access.
To easily reproduce with a framework install: * Note that MacOS.WMAvailable() returns True when you run the python/pythonw when you are logged in to the machine * Now copy /Library/Framework/Python.frameworks/Versions/Current/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python to "python.exe" * Run "./python.exe" and note that MacOS.WMAvailable() now returns False (and that sys.prefix still refers to the framework) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8716> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
