They failed until we had the tests skip those platforms - at the time, I felt that it was more of a bug with the build slave configuration than a multiprocessing issue, I don't like skipping tests unless the platform fundamentally isn't supported (e.g. broken semaphores for some actions on OS/X) - linux platforms support this functionality just fine - except when in locked-down chroot jails. The only reason I brought it up was to point out the a buildbot configuration on a given host can make tests fail even if those tests would normally pass on that operating system. 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
