[Python-3000] test_asyncore fails intermittently on Darwin

Sun Aug 5 03:53:45 CEST 2007

Well, regardless of the brokenness of the patch, I do get two
different failures from this test on OSX. The first is caused by
trying to socket.bind() a port that's already been bound recently:
Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/Users/jyasskin/src/python/test_asyncore/Lib/threading.py",
line 464, in __bootstrap
 self.run()
 File "/Users/jyasskin/src/python/test_asyncore/Lib/threading.py",
line 444, in run
 self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
 File "Lib/test/test_asyncore.py", line 59, in capture_server
 serv.bind(("", PORT))
 File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (48, 'Address already in use')
That looks pretty easy to fix.
The second:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_send (__main__.DispatcherWithSendTests_UsePoll)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "Lib/test/test_asyncore.py", line 351, in test_send
 d.send(data)
 File "/Users/jyasskin/src/python/test_asyncore/Lib/asyncore.py",
line 468, in send
 self.initiate_send()
 File "/Users/jyasskin/src/python/test_asyncore/Lib/asyncore.py",
line 455, in initiate_send
 num_sent = dispatcher.send(self, self.out_buffer[:512])
 File "/Users/jyasskin/src/python/test_asyncore/Lib/asyncore.py",
line 335, in send
 if why[0] == EWOULDBLOCK:
TypeError: 'error' object is unindexable
seems to be caused by a change in exceptions. I've reduced the problem
into the attached patch, which adds a test to Lib/test/test_socket.py.
It looks like subscripting is no longer the way to get values out of
socket.errors, but another way hasn't been implemented yet.
