[New-bugs-announce] [issue25038] test_os.TestSendfile.test_keywords() introduced a regression

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

The change e42e2bd47168 introduced a regression, test_os started to fail on FreeBSD. What is the rationale of the change? For example, test_os pass in the previous build on the same buildbot.

I don't know if it makes sense to pass None to headers and/or trailers.

Please revert the change or fix the test. ((But we must continue to test headers=None and trailers=None, even if these parameters now raise a TypeError).

======================================================================
ERROR: test_keywords (test.test_os.TestSendfile)
