R. David Murray added the comment: Haypo: we are testing that our function wrapper (getgroups) returns something that we can parse as matching the results from the 'id' command. This gives us a much more meaningful test than just testing that getgroups returns *something*. That is, we are testing that it returns integers, and that they "look right".
In that light, I propose an alternate patch. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44143/test_getgroups_3.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
