Yeah, that particular test is not yet working. (Fixes are welcome -- see http://wiki.python.org/moin/Py3kStrUniTests for how to help.) I believe I rigged "make install" to continue after this error -- did the rest of the install complete? FWIW, a better place to discuss Py3k bleeding edge stuff is python-3000@python.org. Sign up at the usual place. (I've CC'ed that list now -- please remove python-dev from followups.) --Guido On 7/24/07, Lisandro Dalcin wrote:

Afther checking out the py3k-struni branch, 'make install' issued this:

Compiling /usr/local/python/3.0/lib/python3.0/test/test_tarfile.py ... *** SyntaxError: ('expected string, bytes found', ('/usr/local/python/3.0/lib/python3.0/test/test_tarfile.py', 0, 0, None))

If this is expected to fail, please forget this.
