I’m looking. Nobody in any of their reports has actually said what the line endings *are* in they install yet (I assume \n), and I haven’t had a chance to check yet. Do we have a minimum git version requirement? Maybe I need to update my build machine. Top-posted from my Windows phone From: Victor Stinner Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2017 2:27 To: Python Dev; Steve Dower Subject: test_sax and test_random fail on Python 3.6.2rc1 on Windows Hi, The end-of-line hell is not over, test_sax and test_random tests are still failing if you install Python 3.6.2rc1 on Windows: http://bugs.python.org/issue27425#msg296519 These tests rely on files in Lib/test/. The end-of-line of these files is controlled by .gitattributes, but it seems like the Windows installer changed the end-of-line or the file were not correctly created on the Git clone (.gitattributes ignored)? In my Git checkout on Windows, Lib/test/xmltestdata/test.xml.out and Lib/test/randv2_32.pck use UNIX end-of-line (\n). While it's possible to fix test_sax to translate the end-of-line, I would prefer to not have to modify test_random which opens a pickle binary file (Lib/test/randv2_32.pck). So, can someone look how the Windows installer stores and then installs these files? Victor
