[Python-Dev] Potential beta showstopper (was Re: Have been sick, am behind on mail, let me know if there's anything urgent for me)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Okay, we have a potential showstopper for the betas today. All the 3.0 buildbots are bloody red:

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/stable/

Running the tests locally on OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 8.04 confirm that the tests hang after test_xmlrpc. The tests are uninterruptible.

I hereby give permission to any dev with commit privileges to checkin a fix, or back out the offending revision. I will be off-line for about 3 more hours and if this can't be fixed by then, we will have to postpone the releases.

Once I'm back, I'll be on #python-dev @ freenode.

Thanks to Benjamin and Alexandre for helping me get through the current crop of release critical issues today.
