New submission from Michał Górny <mgo...@gentoo.org>: xz-utils has four options to configure codecs supported by liblzma:
--enable-encoders --enable-decoders --enable-match-finders --enable-checks In Gentoo, we're using those options to optionally provide smaller footprint liblzma builds that include only the standard set of codecs used by .xz archives (i.e. that work with any archive created by xz/lzma without expert options used). However, it seems that the CPython test suite wrongly presumes that all codecs are always available and it fails on LZMAErrors when those are not present. I'm attaching the verbose output of test_lzma. I think the best solution here would be to catch LZMAError and skipTest() if it's LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR. I think this would be best done by exposing the underlying error code in LZMAError exception (rather than string-matching, though the latter would also work). ---------- components: Tests files: lzma-test.txt messages: 326960 nosy: mgorny priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test_lzma: Multiple test failures when liblzma is built without complete codec set type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47845/lzma-test.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34883> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
