Jesse Noller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I believe this is a Linux-specific problem relating to chroot jails missing the /dev/shm filesystem.
I am suggesting we skip the test for now if /dev/shm does not exist, via: if (sys.platform.startswith("linux"): if not os.path.exists("/dev/shm"): raise TestSkipped("Missing required /dev/shm device on Linux!") at the top of test_multiprocessing.py Anyone see a problem with this? ---------- nosy: +Rhamphoryncus, benjamin.peterson _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
