I haven't investigated this, but I tought the failures in the python testsuite come from python's optional modules that are compiled only if dependencies are available. For example, pythons ssl library is only compiled if openssl headers are found at compile time. The corresponding ssl module testsuite failing shouldn't stop us, then. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
