framework install of Python in your home directory (on OSX):
$ configure --enable-framework=${HOME}/Library/Frameworks
$ make && make install
Without this patch the framework would get installed just fine,
but 'make install' would try to install the application bundles
and command-line tools outside the user's home, which doesn't work
for non-admin users (and is bad form anyway).
Markup fixes to use :exc:, :option: in a few places.
(Glitch: unittest.main's -c ends up a link to the Python
interpreter's -c option. Should we skip using :option: for that
switch, or disable the auto-linking somehow?)
* Use try/except ImportError or test_support.import_module() to import thread
and threading modules
* Add @unittest.skipUnless(threading, ...) to testcases using threads
Use test_support.import_module() instead of import to raise a SkipTest
exception if the import fail. Import trace fails if the threading module is
missing.
See also part 3: test_doctest: import trace module in test_coverage().
Rewrite r80556: the thread test have to be executed just after the test on
libc_open() and so the test cannot be splitted in two functions (without
duplicating code, and I don't want to duplicate code).
* Skip testcases using threads if threading module is missing
* Use "http://" instead of URL in ServerProxyTestCase if threading is missing
because URL is not set in this case
* Skip TestPendingCalls if threading module is missing
* Test if threading module is present or not, instead of test the presence of
_testcapi._test_thread_state
* Split Test.test_open() in 2 functions: test_open() and test_thread_open()
* Skip test_open() and test_thread_open() if we are unable to find the C
library
* Skip test_thread_open() if thread support is disabled
* Use unittest.skipUnless(os.name == "nt", ...) on test_GetLastError()
import threading after _multiprocessing to raise a more revelant error message:
"No module named _multiprocessing". _multiprocessing is not compiled without
thread support.
Import trace module fail if the threading module is missing. test_coverage() is
only used if test_doctest.py is used with the -c option. This commit allows to
execute the test suite without thread support.
Move "import trace" in test_coverage() and use
test_support.import_module('trace').
