Then again, I know for a fact certain tests fail ONLY on certain buildbots because of the way they're configured. For example, certain multiprocessing tests will fail if /dev/shm isn't accessible on Linux, and several of the buildbosts are in tight chroot jails and don't have that exposed. Is it a bug in that buildbot, a platform specific bug, etc? jesse _______________________________________________ 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
