Make sure you use _socket instead of socket for the name of the
! socketmodule on BeOS.
If you want the modules to be built as shared libraries, instead of as
part of the Python shared library, be sure to uncomment the #*shared*
! line.
I've tried the following modules:
! regex pcre posix signal readline array cmath math strop struct time
! operator _locale fcntl pwd grp select _socket errno crypt termios
! audioop imageop rgbimg md5 timing rotor syslog curses new gdbm soundex
! binascii parser cStringIO cPickle zlib
! Note that some of these (readline, curses, gdbm, and zlib) require extra
! libraries that aren't supplied with Python. If you don't have the extra
! libs (you can probably get them from GeekGadgets), don't try to use
! these modules; they won't compile.

Make sure you use _socket instead of socket for the name of the
! socketmodule on BeOS (at least, until we get the new BONE networking).
If you want the modules to be built as shared libraries, instead of as
part of the Python shared library, be sure to uncomment the #*shared*

! interesting.

make test
Expect the following errors:
! test_grp crashed -- exceptions.KeyError : getgrnam(): name not found
! test_pwd failed -- Writing: 'fakename', expected: 'caught e'
! test_socket crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : SOCK_RAW
These are all due to either partial support for certain things (like
sockets), or valid differences between systems.
! NOTE: On R4/x86, the pause() function is broken; expect the signal
! module test to crash Python!

make test
+ test_popen2 will probably hang; it's deadlocked on a semaphore. I should
+ probably disable popen2 support... it uses fork(), and fork() doesn't mix
+ with threads on BeOS. In *THEORY* you could use it in a single-threaded
+ program, but I haven't tried.
+
+ If test_popen2 does hang, you can find the semaphore it's hung on via the
+ "ps" command. Look for python and you'll find something like this:
+
+ ./python -tt ../src/Lib/test/regrtest.py (team 26922) (uid 0) (gid 0)
+ 39472 python sem 10 3785 1500 piperd(360526)
+ ./python -tt ../src/Lib/test/regrtest.py (team 26923) (uid 0) (gid 0)
+ 39477 python sem 10 25 4 python lock (1)(360022)
+ ^^^^^^
+ That last number is the semaphore the fork()'d python is stuck on
+ (see how it's helpfully called "python lock (1)"? :-). You can unblock
+ that semaphore to let the tests continue using the "release" command
+ with that semaphore number. Be _very_ careful with "release" though,
+ releasing the wrong semaphore can be hazardous.
+
Expect the following errors:
+
+ test * skipped -- an optional feature could not be imported (you'll see
+ quite a few of these, based on what optional modules
+ you've included)
+
+ test test_fork1 skipped -- can't mix os.fork with threads on BeOS
+
+ test test_re failed -- Writing: '=== Failed incorrectly', expected:
+ "('abc', 'abc', 0, 'fou"
+
+ test test_select crashed -- select.error : (-2147459072, 'Bad file
+ descriptor')
! test test_socket crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : SOCK_RAW
These are all due to either partial support for certain things (like
sockets), or valid differences between systems.
! That test_re failure is a little worrysome though.
