[New-bugs-announce] [issue10505] test_compileall: failure on Windows

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org>:

On Windows, test_compileall fails due to #10197:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_quiet (test.test_compileall.CommandLineTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\3.x.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\test_compileall.py", line 227, in test_quiet
    self.assertGreater(len(noise), len(quiet))
AssertionError: 89 not greater than 89


The patch uses subprocess.check_output() instead. Technically, now
byte strings are compared instead of strings, but that should not matter
for the outcome.

Does the patch look ok?
