You find the builder here: http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows%20Server%202008%20hg-3.x The specific build you can find here http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows%20Server%202008%20hg-3.x/builds/47 The failing build step is here http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows%20Server%202008%20hg-3.x/builds/47/steps/test/logs/stdio The failure message is this: test test_import failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\buildslave-py3k\hg-3.x.curtin-win2008-amd64\build\lib\test\test_import.py", line 182, in test_failing_import_sticks self.assertRaises(ZeroDivisionError, __import__, TESTFN) AssertionError: ZeroDivisionError not raised by __import__ In re-running the test, the test succeeded: test_failing_import_sticks (test.test_import.ImportTests) ... ok So apparently, this test case has a transient failure. It's not obvious (to me) why there might be a transient failure in this test case. > What can be done in cases like this? How to investigate further? One way of dealing with it is to ignore it. If you do want to investigate further, try to reproduce the failure. It may be that the specific sequence in which the tests are executed can cause the failure. Or it's specific to the Windows installation, and some interaction with the virus scanner, in which case you should ask Brian for remote-desktop access to the build slave in order to reproduce it.
