[Python-Dev] Checking in a broken test was: Re: [Python-checkins]r41940 - python/trunk/Lib/test/test_compiler.py

[Scott David Daniels]

OK I carried the code I offered earlier in this whole thread (tweaked in
reaction to some comments) over to comp.lang.python, gathered some
feedback, and put up a recipe on the cookbook.  After a week or so for
more comment, I'll be happy to submit a patch to include the broken_test
decorator function in unittest.

Here is where the recipe is, for those who want to comment further:
