We are committed to support back to Windows 2000 in Python 2.7. In general, that just means "don't commit something that makes the platform unsupportable and accept a patch if somebody fixes something on that platform". In this case, considering that it's a test of a 2.x-only module on an out-of-vendor-support OS, skipping the tests (possibly even the entirety of test_bsddb3) on XP sounds just fine to me. -- Zach _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
