Thanks, I didn't know: I only noticed this on the FreeBSD buildbots (I guess OS-X buildbots don't run as root). Note that it does behave as "expected" on Linux (note the use of quotation marks, I'm not sure whether this behavior is authorized by POSIX). I changed the test to skip when the effective UID is 0, regardless of the OS, to stay on the safe side. _______________________________________________ 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
