This seemingly useless test is the only test failure for me with installed
3.9.1. Why keep it, at least on Windows.
The failure with "locale.Error: unsupported locale setting" is not limited to
Windows. #25191 and duplicate #31636 report the same error on user machines
(non-buildbot, as here). #25191proposes the following patch to skip this
failure.
- locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, loc)
- self.assertEqual(loc, locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE))
+ try:
+ locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, loc)
+ self.assertEqual(loc, locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE))
+ except locale.Error:
+ # Unsupported locale setting
+ self.skipTest('unsupported locale setting')
I believe that this is effectively the same as deleting the test. But if we
believe it is being skipped on at least Windows buildbots, then we should do
the same at least on user Windows machines. Or, if we could detect user
manchines, skip on them.
