I just built and ran the latest Python 2.4.2c1 from CVS on our HP-UX Itanium 2 box. sys.maxint is 9223372036854775807 on this box. I get the following failure from test_unicode (all other tests pass): File "/var/tmp/guido/p4/Lib/test/test_unicode.py", line 553, in test_codecs_errors self.assertEqual(u'Andr\202 x'.encode('ascii','replace'), "Andr? x") AssertionError: 'Andr x' != 'Andr? x' When I try it on the command line I get the same result: Python 2.4.2c1 (#4, Sep 20 2005, 09:15:22) [C] on hp-ux11 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
u'Andr\202 x'.encode('ascii','replace') 'Andr x'
The test passes on Linux. We have about 6 hours until code freeze... -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
