make test is behaving strangely. The first time I ran it I got test test_mmap crashed -- exceptions.SyntaxError : inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation which I believe Jeremy has seen with test_sre. tabnanny says everything's fine, and running the module manually (and individually w/ regrtest) shows no problems with the test. Similarly, I got a different crash in test_sre. It says: test test_sre failed -- sre.search and I also get test test_re failed -- re.search I'm also getting bizare stuff like test test_strftime crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : match test test_tokenize crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : compile test test_xmllib crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : compile This is all with a CVS updated Python 2.0b1. Now if I run "./python Lib/test/test_mmap.py" manually, this succeeds, and now either the failures go away or are transmorgrified into something more reasonable: mmap, strftime, tokenize, sre, and xmllib all pass. test_re still fails, but this time with test test_re failed -- Writing: '=== Failed incorrectly', expected: "('abc', 'abc', 0, 'fou" Blowing away the Lib/test/*.pyc's doesn't seem to re-trigger the problem once it's fixed, but doing a `make distclean' and `make test' gets me back to the initial situation. Weird! -Barry
