Ok. Still, silencing all OSErrors in test_posix is much too broad. The code should check for expected error codes, possibly depending on the OS. > If you prefer, of course it's possible to be conservative and make the new > version of posix_getcwd() Solaris specific. I think this would be the most reasonable solution for 2.7, indeed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
