Re: [Python-Dev] test_minidom non-failure failure? (take 2)

The question, then, is what to do about the -l option. I assume we should remove the -l option from the Makefile, so that "make test" doesn't turn on DEBUG_SAVEALL.

This seems to make sense, yes. Since the "leaked" objects that are found will be released by the GC code, I see no point in reporting these during the regression test. This can only confuse people (like it did Jeremy :-).

Or do we need to change regrtest in some way so that it still reports on tests that create evil things?

Any form of evilness that can be detected without *too* much effort is worth it... I have no idea what kind of evil we're looking for here or how to detect is, so I can't answer yes or no. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
