[Python-Dev] cygwin errors

[Tim Peters]

Grrr.  Here's a minimal failing set on Win98SE:

$ python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_strptime test_logging test_time
test_strptime
test_logging
test_time
test test_time failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_time.py", line 49, in test_strptime
    self.fail('conversion specifier: %r failed.' % format)
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\unittest.py", line 260, in fail
    raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: conversion specifier: ' %c' failed.

2 tests OK.
1 test failed:
    test_time

$

Remove either or both of the first two, and test_time passes.

Probably related:  swap the order of the first two, and test_strptime fails:

$ python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_logging test_strptime

test_logging
test_strptime
test test_strptime failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_strptime.py", line 96, in test_lang
    "Setting of lang failed")
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\unittest.py", line 268, in failUnless
    if not expr: raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: Setting of lang failed

1 test OK.
1 test failed:
    test_strptime

$

These don't smell like wild stores.  What happens on your box?

If anyone else sees these failures, and can make time to dig, note that 1200
lines in the logging pkg live in logging/__init__.py (easy to overlook! very
unusual).  Note too that test_logging.py and _strptime.py both muck with
locale.
