Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-3000] the release gods are angry at python
In the py3k branch I've assigned the audio resource to the winsound tests. Only regrtest.py -uall or -uaudio runs the winsound test. Reason: the test sound was freaking out my poor cat. :/
I feel with your cat ;-). This would not help on the buildbot since it runs 'rt.bat -d -q -uall - rw'.
I feel for the poor NOC engineers at my colo that freak out when some random server in a farm of thousands starts making bizarre sounds. I detest test_winsound. There are so many corner cases you need to account for that makes the test pointless as you end up wrapping everything in except: pass blocks. Does the system have a legacy beep driver? Is it enabled? Is it disabled? Is there a sound card? Is it enabled or disabled? Pah! +1 to removing audio out of -uall, if only for the sake of cats, erroneously red buildbots, and poor ServerCentral NOC engineers. Trent.

And I would not mind removing this module altogether, and provide a ctypes implementation. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
