[issue13847] Catch time(), ftime(), localtime() and clock() errors

[STINNER Victor]

There is still an error on Windows:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_localtime_failure (test.test_time.TimeTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Buildslave\3.x.moore-windows\build\lib\test\test_time.py", line 364, in test_localtime_failure
    self.assertRaises(OSError, time.gmtime, invalid_time_t)
AssertionError: OSError not raised by gmtime

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86%20XP-5%203.x/builds/4074/steps/test/logs/stdio

time.ctime() uses localtime() internally, whereas time.gmtime() doesn't. Another time should maybe be written (to test a different time_t value). Or remove completly the whole test because it is not reliable :-)

----------
resolution: fixed -> 
status: closed -> open
