Bug #132786, was updated on 2001-Feb-16 16:58
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: None
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5

Summary: 2.1a2 "make test" failures under Solaris 8

Details: Platform: SunOS asafoetida 5.8 Generic_108528-04 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-60
(actually a Sun 220 rackmount server)
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
2.1a2: CVS version from Feb 16

"make test" produces (inter alia):

test_sunaudiodev
test test_sunaudiodev failed -- (2, 'No such file or directory',
'/dev/audio')
--- This is probably OK, since the platform is a server, and setup.py uses
only the test "if platform == 'sunos5':" to decide to compile the
sunaudiodev extension. Maybe it should also test for /dev/audio
existence?

test_ucn
test test_ucn crashed -- exceptions.AssertionError: failed to raise an
exception
 when given a bogus character name

Running this test manually produces:
./python Lib/test/test_ucn.py
Testing General Unicode Character Name, and case insensitivity... done.
Testing name to code mapping.... done.
Testing code to name mapping for all characters.... done.
Found 10538 characters in the unicode name database
Testing misc. symbols for unicode character name expansion.... done.
Testing unicode character name expansion strict error handling....
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_ucn.py", line 90, in ?
    raise AssertionError, "failed to raise an exception when given a bogus
character name"

name

Comment:
The test_ucn bug has been fixed by /F, after a subsequent report of failure
on OpenVMS (bug id 132817, Feb 17).
