Comment(by was):
I also see exactly the same twist.py failure on opensuse 64-bit. I think
this is likely just a poorly written doctest.
Yes, in fact, looking at the doctest it is:
{{{
Run a command::
sage: sleep(0.5)
sage: print
get_url('http://localhost:%s/simple/compute?session=%s&code=2*2' % (port,
session))
{
"status": "done",
"files": [],
"cell_id": 1
}
___S_A_G_E___
4
}}}
To be frank, it is utterly ridiculous to think that a doctest like this is
going to work all the time. Often computers get heavily loaded during
testing, or are slow because of DNS configuration, virtualization, etc.
The above test needs to be rewritten. Two options:
* try repeatedly until status is done.
* put some ...'s in the output.
