Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/test In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv1297 Modified Files: Tag: release23-maint test_winsound.py Log Message: Backport Tim's fix to test_winsound.py PlaySoundTest.test_alias_fallback(): Disabled this test, and explained why in a new comment. My home Win98SE box is one of the "real systems" alluded to (my system "default sound" appears to have vanished sometime in the last month, that's certainly not a Python bug, and the MS PlaySound docs are correct in their explanation of what happens then).
