[issue25242] Failed tests for Python 3.5.0 on shared virtual host

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Classification of test failures:

1. test_distutils, test_httpservers, test_shutil, test_subprocess - unable to 
run an executable or load a library from /tmp. This is likely testing issue, 
not a bug. We should just detect this situation and skip tests.

2. test_fcntl - likely a restriction of /tmp filesystem (if the test is passed 
in non-restricted environment). In this case we should just skip the test.

3. test_readline - readline initialization issue (issue19884). This is real bug 
that already was reported. We trying to fix it (unsuccessfully).

That's an interesting possibility regardless of this issue.  That's probably 
something the test suite *should* take into account, since as people get more 
careful about security that's something we could see happening more often.

I've only scanned the first couple of test failures in your attachment, but 
they don't seem to have anything to do with spawn or /tmp.

May be /tmp is mounted on a filesystem that forbids setting the execution bit.

[issue25242] Failed tests for Python 3.5.0 on shared virtual host

[Open Genomes]

New submission from Open Genomes:

Several tests for Python 3.5.0 failed. 
The install is a local one on a shared virtual server from bluehost.com
This is a local user install, with a prefix in $HOME/python directory. 
Output of uname -a:
Linux box874.bluehost.com 3.12.35.1418868052 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 20:04:02 CST 
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It would seem that there are no permissions to spawn() a new process, and to 
write temporary files to /tmp

The tests should be able to work on a virtual server, or the test should check 
if there are permissions to fork a process and write to a system-wide temporary 
directory. Of course many installations use Python on virtual hosts and often 
the system-wide default installation on Linux systems is 2.7.0. The tests need 
to fail gracefully or accommodate the lack of permissions for to fork new 
processes and write to system-wide temporary directories.
