<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Reuben,<br><br></div>Thanks for reporting this. I've had a similar report recently in the Tulip tracker (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/tulip/issues/detail?id=89" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/tulip/issues/detail?id=89</a>). But the problem seems with the use of SO_REUSEPORT in the test.support package's bind_port() helper.<br>
<br>This really belongs in the Python issue tracker (<a href="http://bugs.python.org">bugs.python.org</a>) -- can you submit a bug there? My hunch is that, because this seems to be a relatively new feature, we should just catch and ignore the exception from that specific call.<br>

I'm building Python 3.3.2-r2 from Gentoo's Portage tree [1] and encountered two failed tests which probably should not have been attempted on my OS (Gentoo 3.7.10): test_bind_port and test_find_unused_port both use the SO_REUSEPORT socket option which, to the best of my knowledge is only available since kernel version 3.9. I was able to build by skipping the tests — but I believe the tests are there for a reason, and it would be best if a test that is known to fail should be skipped (or replaced with a fallback that is likely to succeed). Issue # 16594 [3] may be related (not sure). <br>
<br></div>Is it possible to detect the kernel version and skip (or modify) these tests if SO_REUSEPORT is not available? If I'm missing something obvious (or should be reporting this elsewhere), please educate me so I can better respect your attention next time around :] <br>
