[New-bugs-announce] [issue7924] test_capi crashes with misleading datetime ImportError when _curses is not built

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <laxyf at yahoo.fr>:

This crash is sporadic on some buildbots where _curses is not built:

  test_capi
  XXX undetected error
  test test_capi crashed -- <class 'ImportError'>: No module named datetime

Note: the changeset r76810 did not fix the issue. It can be reverted.

The problem occurs during the test "test_capsule".
To reproduce: add a typo on "_curses" on line 1666.
