The utime() call is failing for one of the Unicode file names.
build> ./python ../Lib/test/test_unicode_file.py test_directories (__main__.TestUnicodeFiles) ... ok test_equivalent_files (__main__.TestUnicodeFiles) ... ok test_single_files (__main__.TestUnicodeFiles) ... '@test-\xc3\xa0\xc3\xb2' '@test-\xc3\xa0\xc3\xb2' u'@test-\xe0\xf2' ERROR
By default, this test is working for me on Linux. I suspect it has to do with the fact that:
[skip@bobcat build]$ ./python -c 'import sys;print sys.getfilesystemencoding()' UTF-8
By way of testing, I tried: [skip@bobcat build]$ export LANG=de_DE [skip@bobcat build]$ ./python -c 'import sys;print sys.getfilesystemencoding()' ISO-8859-1
And the tests still succeeded. Trying to work with "ascii" as the encoding results in a 'TestSkipped' exception:
[skip@bobcat build]$ export LANG=C [skip@bobcat build]$ ./python -c 'import sys;print sys.getfilesystemencoding()' ANSI_X3.4-1968 [skip@bobcat build]$ ./python ../Lib/test/test_unicode_file.py ... test.test_support.TestSkipped: No Unicode filesystem semantics on this platform.
I even managed to get my Windows 98 box on the network again, and this also seems to work for me from current CVS. I'm really not sure what I am missing....
Mark.
