The hppa ubuntu box sometimes hangs forever in these tests. My guess
is that the wait is failing for some reason. Use WNOHANG, so we won't
wait until the buildbot kills the test suite.
I haven't been able to reproduce the failure, so I'm not sure if
this will help or not. Hopefully, this change will cause the test
to fail, rather than hang. That will be better since we will get
the rest of the test results. It may also help us debug the real problem.
*** The reason this originally failed was because there were many
zombie children outstanding before rev 47158 cleaned them up.
There are still hangs in test_subprocess that need to be addressed,
but that will take more work. This should close some holes.
str() or repr()) would work, just not multi-value tuples. Probably not a
backport candidate, since it changes the behaviour of passing a
single-element tuple:
>>> string.Template("$foo").substitute(dict(foo=(1,)))
'(1,)'
versus
'1'
handler would cause a segfault. This merges in Expat's lib/xmlparse.c
revisions 1.154 and 1.155, which fix this and a closely related problem
(the later does not affect Python).
Moved the crasher test to the tests for xml.parsers.expat.
be called at the end of each test that spawns children (perhaps it
should be called from regrtest instead?). This will hopefully prevent
some of the unexplained failures in the buildbots (hppa and alpha)
during tests that spawn children. The problems were not reproducible.
There were many zombies that remained at the end of several tests.
In the worst case, this shouldn't cause any more problems,
though it may not help either. Time will tell.
(modified patch by Sam Ruby; changed to use separate REs for start and end
tags to reduce matching cost for end tags; extended tests; updated to avoid
breaking previous changes to support IPv6 addresses in unquoted attribute
values)
consistent with os.wait() returning immediately because some other
subprocess had previously exited; the test suite then immediately
tries to lock the mailbox and gets an error saying it's already
locked.
To fix this, do a waitpid() so the test suite only continues once
the intended child process has exited.
('[' and ']' were not accepted in unquoted attribute values)
- cleaned up tests of character and entity reference decoding so the
tests cover the documented relationships among handle_charref,
handle_entityref, convert_charref, convert_codepoint, and
convert_entityref, without bringing up Unicode issues that sgmllib
cannot be involved in
both a subclass of Warning and a subclass of types.ClassType. The latter is no
longer true thanks to new-style exceptions.
Closes bug #1510580. Thanks to AMK for the test.
The problem of checking too eagerly for recursive calls is the
following: if a RuntimeError is caused by recursion, and if code needs
to normalize it immediately (as in the 2nd test), then
PyErr_NormalizeException() needs a call to the RuntimeError class to
instantiate it, and this hits the recursion limit again... causing
PyErr_NormalizeException() to never finish.
Moved this particular recursion check to slot_tp_call(), which is not
involved in instantiating built-in exceptions.
Backport candidate.
constructor, meaning it is treated as *args, not as a single argument. This
means using the 'message' attribute won't work (until Py3K comes around),
and so one must grab from 'arg' to get the error number.
os.environ (setting envar COLUMNS), which at least caused
test_float_default() to fail if the tests were run more than once.
This repairs the test_optparse -R failures Neal reported on
python-dev. It also explains some seemingly bizarre test_optparse
failures we saw a couple weeks ago on the buildbots, when
test_optparse failed due to test_file failing to clean up after
itself, and then test_optparse failed in an entirely different
way when regrtest's -w option ran test_optparse a second time.
It's now obvious that make_parser() permanently changing os.environ
was responsible for the second half of that.

pretty stable (no spurious warnings) for about a week.
Other modules which use threads may require similar use of
threading_setup/threading_cleanup from test_support.
of this test. It probably still requires more disk space
than most buildbots have, and in any case is still so
intrusive that if we don't find another way to test this I'm
taking my buildbot offline permanently ;-)
This will hopefully get the buildbots to pass. Not sure this
test will be feasible or even work. But everything is red now,
so it can't get much worse.
