Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Thanks, Andrew. Regarding your comment, it was a deliberate choice not to do the additional check because I wanted each test to check only one thing. But I am okay with adding the additional check. Regarding the patch, should all of the methods now do something similar to what test_cwd() does? + # We cannot use os.path.realpath to canonicalize the path, + # since it doesn't expand Tru64 {memb} strings. See bug 1063571. + cwd = os.getcwd() + os.chdir(tmpdir) + tmpdir = os.getcwd() It looks like test_cwd() may have needed to apply this treatment to have more reliable string-matching in the assert. Otherwise, why is tmpdir being re-assigned to? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15533> _______________________________________
