Summary: test_sax fails on python 2.2.3 & patch for regrtest.py
Initial Comment:
Hi,
1) testing using the FreeBSD ports version of Python
2.2.3 fails (both on FreeBSD 5 and FreeBSD 4.8). The
test test_sax.py fails, because test_sax seems to
require expat2 (?), which isn't available by default on
FreeBSD).
2) I've also patched regrtest.py so that it works on
FreeBSD 4/5
(Chimp@IRC tested it on FreeBSD4.8), can somebody
apply the patches from regrtest.py to CVS?

In detail:
1) testing using the FreeBSD ports version of Python
2.2.3 failed
==========================================
========================
Using Python 2.2.3 from recent FreeBSD ports
"cd /usr/ports/lang/python ; make ; cd work/Python-
2.2.3 ; make test"
gives:
174 tests OK.
1 test failed:
test_sax
18 tests skipped:
test_al test_cd test_cl test_curses
test_email_codecs test_gdbm
test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_locale
test_nis
test_pyexpat test_socket_ssl test_socketserver
test_sunaudiodev
test_unicode_file test_winreg test_winsound
Ask someone to teach regrtest.py about which tests are
expected to get skipped on freebsd5.

I managed to fixed this by patching test_sax.py,
see http://gewis.nl/~pieterb/python/bugs-2.2.3/
2) i've patched regrtest.py so that it works on FreeBSD
4/5
==========================================
=================
This make it possible to run 'make test' on Python.
It will give the following output:
175 tests OK.
18 tests skipped:
test_al test_cd test_cl test_curses
test_email_codecs test_gdbm
test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_locale
test_nis
test_pyexpat test_socket_ssl test_socketserver
test_sunaudiodev
test_unicode_file test_winreg test_winsound
Those skips are all expected on freebsd5.
Can anybody confirm that it's ok to skip those tests.
Can anybody
download the patched version of regrtest.py from the
URL above check
it into Python CVS?
Thanks to Chimp@IRC for testing it on FreeBSD4.8
Thanks to itz@irc and others at IRC:#python for their
help.

I haven't looked to see what the port is doing, but just
using configure, I find with 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.8:-
- test_locale fails becuase "en_US" is not a supported
locale; the test would have to use one of "en_US.US-ASCII",
"en_US.ISO8859-1" or "en_US.ISO8859-15" (I have no idea
which would be most appropriate).
- test_nis will fail if it can't find a NIS master for any
NIS map.
- test_socket_ssl & test_socketserver will be skipped if the
network resource is not enabled.
- test_sax & test_pyexpat both pass.
FreeBSD has its own expat package (which is using expat
1.95.6 on both 4.8 & 5.1). pyexpat is a separately
selectable package/port. If you haven't installed the
pyexpat package, or built same from the port, then test_sax
& test_pyexpat are both going to be skipped.
I'm still looking at a couple of other issues with building
on 5.1.
Given that FreeBSD 5.0 was a technology preview not intended
for production use, and a STABLE branch will not be declared
until at least after 5.2 is released, it will not be trivial
to keep track of build issues until release of 5.2. I am
not in a position to track the FreeBSD 5.x CVS, but I will
try and keep up with releases.
I'm not sure whether anyone has yet stepped in to take Alan
Eldridge's place as maintainer of FreeBSD's ports of Python
& various modules. IMO, many of the issues here should have
been taken up with the Python port maintainer, rather than
being dealt with in Python's tracker (I tried to contact
AlanE about some of this not long before he died).

I'm unsure why test_locale, test_nis, and test_socket_ssl
would be skipped.
I'm also surprised test_pyexpat is skipped when test_minidom
is executed. This is impossible.

See also: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?
group_id=5470&atid=105470&func=detail&aid=621579
a search on "test_sax" indicates that isn't running on quite a
lot of other platforms.
