Summary: running regrtest in user mode fails
Initial Comment:
Running on MacOS X 10.1.5
Installed Python 2.2.2 from an admin account into a folder that only admins can modify.
Ran regrtest from a user account.
Some 26 tests fail with the following error:
test test_builtin crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '@test'
Comment from Jack Jansen:
The bug is with Python's test suite. The test suite expects to have write permission in Python's Lib/test directory (or somewhere thereabouts). The bug isn't mac-specific, but it's triggered by person A doing the install and person B running the test set.
At the very least the test set should detect this situation and print a warning that you may experience random failures that do not point to problems with the python installation, I guess...
