Yeah, certain tests need some TLC to make them more predictable and less prone to throw a failure because of some touch race condition or something on the machine was not available to make the test work. As I have stated on my blog, once I am done with importlib and the stdlib reorg I plan on working on dev docs and then attack the whole structure of the unit tests. But who knows when that will happen. =) -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
