OK - got some results. Remember that these are on a minimally-configured
FREEBSD-5.1-RELEASE. I looked for a bug report on SF for these but =
couldn't
find any - let me know which bug to attach trhe various test failures to
(or let me know if I need to create a new one).
I expected some tests to fail since my NIC has been set up via DHCP, =
but
Win2K internet connection sharing doesn't send a hostname back=20
(it assumes everyone is using WINS to lookup names I guess).
running build_scripts
test test_socket failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/home/Tim/Python-2.3b2/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 215, =
in
testCrucialConstants
socket.SOCK_RDM
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SOCK_RDM'
This is one of the errors reported by Pieter.
test test_strptime failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/home/Tim/Python-2.3b2/Lib/test/test_strptime.py", line =
312, in
test_timezone
"LocaleTime().timezone has duplicate values but "
File "/usr/home/Tim/Python-2.3b2/Lib/unittest.py", line 268, in =
failUnless
if not expr: raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: LocaleTime().timezone has duplicate values but timzone =
value
not set to -1
This one is almost certainly my fault ;) But the error message is wrong =
I
think - it should read 'but timezone value' rather than 'but timzone =
value'.
test test_tempfile failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/home/Tim/Python-2.3b2/Lib/test/test_tempfile.py", line =
299, in
test_noinherit
self.failIf(retval > 0, "child process reports failure")
File "/usr/home/Tim/Python-2.3b2/Lib/unittest.py", line 264, in =
failIf
if expr: raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: child process reports failure
This is the other error reported by Pieter.
4 tests failed:
test_mimetools test_socket test_strptime test_tempfile
test_mimetools fails because I don't have a usable hostname for the =
machine (due to
the above DHCP configuration issues).
So I can confirm that both of the issues Pieter found are present on a =
*standard*
FREEBSD-5.1-RELEASE install.
