It wasn't the buildbots exactly, but rather the test suite not being robust enough. There are several tests that create files/directories on setup and remove them on teardown. However, if there's some exception and teardown doesn't do it's job completely, on the next run, setup will fail. I fixed one of these in test_repr last night IIRC. test_glob I tried to fix with a change to the Makefile to rm -f areallylong*. Not sure why the problems didn't appear on Windows. The tests should really be made more robust. n _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
