</div>Note that you are running the lib-python tests on top of a<br>
non-translated pypy, which is not what the buildbot does. See<br>
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/pypy/buildbot/raw/default/bot2/pypybuildbot" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/pypy/buildbot/raw/default/bot2/pypybuildbot</a> --<br>
in particular the file builds.py -- for more information about how<br>
buildbot runs its processes. Grep for "if lib_python:", for example.<br>
<br>
About your error precisely: I don't know, I cannot reproduce it... It<br>
looks like .pyc file corruption, maybe? Try to kill all .pyc files<br>
and restart...<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thank you. I did get the tests properly running. I'm not sure whether it was the pyc files or how I was running it, but I first removed all the previous pyc files, looked at buildbot source, and ran the tests like so:</div>
<div><br></div><div>python pypy/test_all.py --pypy=pypy/translator/goal/pypy-c lib-python/2.7/test/test_ctypes.py</div><div><br></div><div>This ran successfully and gave the same failures as the buildbot. Hurrah!</div><div>
<br></div><div>One question: The tests take quite awhile to run, even for a single file. Is this normal?</div><div><br></div><div>And once again, thanks for helping with such a noob question, I really appreciate it.</div>
