[Python-3000] buildbots

[Thomas Heller]

Unfortunately, I read nearly all my mailing lists through gmane with nntp
- and gmane is down currently (it doesn't deliver new messages any more).
So I cannot write a reply in the original thread :-(

Since the tests fail on the trunk (on the windows machines),
the 'clean' step is not run.  So, the next build is not a complete
rebuild, and only some parts are actually compiled.  IMO.
If you look at later compiler runs (Windows, py3k), you see that
there are also less errors.

Yes.

http://bugs.python.org/issue1029 fixes the problem.  I've also recorded
this failure in http://bugs.python.org/issue1041.

Other windows build problems are recorded as issues 1039, 1040, 1041, 1042, 1043.

The most severe is http://bugs.python.org/issue1039, since it causes the buildbot
test runs to hang (an assertion in the debug MS runtime library displays a messagebox).

I'll have to look into that. This is the win64 buildbot.
