Summary: test_tarfile writes in Lib/test directory
Initial Comment:
Test_tarfile writes a file in the Lib/test directory, which fails if Python
has been installed read-only. It would be better if it used
test_support.TESTFN as the basis for a filename to write to.
Here's the message for a binary install on MacOSX (framework
Python):
test test_tarfile crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno 13] Permission
denied: '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/test/testtar.tar.gz'
