While doing up some documentation for Twisted on Windows, I found a small problem with runtests. The test for DirDbm fails when the script tries to create the file "/tmp/dirdbm". The creation of this file is handled by calls to the os and os.path modules. Under Windows, an error occurs when trying to create this directory. There are a number of solutions to this problem but I don't know how similar os and os.path conflicts have been resolved. Glyph, is there a standard way to handle this? I don't know how prevalent the use of these modules is. It may be that Twisted can not be ported to Windows. I don't think this will be the case as I did build and run a static server. A bigger concern as far as runtests goes is it does not shut down cleanly on Windows. I have not tried to track this problem down yet, but I suspect it has something to do with the os and os.path modules - such as the use of fork(), for example. This is also a problem with running twistd to get the static server going, but I think a wrapper Python script could fix this. I'll post my Windows documentation when I get it finished.
