1. The bz2 archive ships with \Modules\collectionsmodule.c instead of the \Modules\_collectionsmodule.c used in the 2.5 SVN branch. In fact the collectionsmodule.c was removed some time ago.
Why do you say that?
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/Modules/colle...
is still present AFAICT.
2. If _collectionsmodule.c is the one to be used in branch and source then it follows that \PC\config.c needs an update.
But it isn't the one to be used.
I am sorry. Me repository seems corrupted. Doing a clean check out of the 2.5 branch as I write this.
That's true. Can you come up with a patch? Looking at the error code of the exception should be sufficient; it should be 5 (as the message shows). The exception is *not* a string, but an object.
Okay. It seems I mixed up WindowsError with the exception e in my post; at least it is now known that e is not a number. The patch is short and is as follows: Index: Lib/test/test_os.py =================================================================== --- Lib/test/test_os.py (revision 55014) +++ Lib/test/test_os.py (working copy) @@ -245,7 +245,8 @@ try: os.stat(r"c:\pagefile.sys") except WindowsError, e: - if e == 2: # file does not exist; cannot run test + # file may not exist, or access is denied; cannot run test + if e.winerror == 2 or e.winerror == 5: return self.fail("Could not stat pagefile.sys") Or do I need to submit this through sourceforge?
That would indicate a bug in the MingW port.
If the same test passes in the official CPython on the same machine (and it does), can it then be deduced that this is not a system's issue but a compiler one?
Likely, neither nor. My guess is that the MingW port, for some reason, decides not to use the Win32 API to perform stat, but the C library. That is incorrect, as the C library will perform truncation of subsecond time stamps. The compiler itself should have no effect (other than defining different compiler recognition macros).

I will try to check what can be done about this. Regards, Khalid __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
