"Jason R. Mastaler" wrote There's a workaround, but the problem is that I think I'll be the one bearing the brunt of this bug for who knows how long. I've gotten about a half dozen problem reports about it already on the TMDA lists. TMDA uses os.fsync() in its mbox and Maildir delivery code, so practically every user will find their TMDA broken as soon as they install or upgrade to 2.3.1. Since Python point releases are usually so solid, they don't consider it might be a bug in the interpreter, and assume it's a TMDA bug. TMDA is just one example. Repeat for the other packages out there which rely on os.fsync().
Hm. I ran the Zope2, Zope3, and Twisted test suites against the release
build before the release. I'm open to additional suggestions (I just
grabbed tmda, but it doesn't have a test suite). In this case, the
problem hopefully would've been picked up with a release candidate, but
I'm also happy to add additional slabs of test suites to run against
code before it's released...
