On Linux, skip tests using multiprocessing if the current user cannot
create a file in /dev/shm/ directory. Add the
skip_if_broken_multiprocessing_synchronize() function to the
test.support module.
Move TransientResource, time_out, socket_peer_reset and
ioerror_peer_reset from test.support to test_urllib2net.
Remove "import errno" from test.support.
* Move socket related functions from test.support to socket_helper.
* Import socket, nntplib and urllib.error lazily in transient_internet().
* Remove importing multiprocess.
Log "Warning -- ..." test warnings into sys.__stderr__ rather than
sys.stderr, to ensure to display them even if sys.stderr is captured.
test.libregrtest.utils.print_warning() now calls
test.support.print_warning().
Moreover, the following tests now check the child process exit code:
* test_os.PtyTests
* test_mailbox.test_lock_conflict()
* test_tempfile.test_process_awareness()
* test_uuid.testIssue8621()
* multiprocessing resource tracker tests
There was a discrepancy between the Python and C implementations.
Add singletons ALWAYS_EQ, LARGEST and SMALLEST in test.support
to test mixed type comparison.
Document reference cycle and resurrected objects issues in
sys.unraisablehook() and threading.excepthook() documentation.
Fix test.support.catch_unraisable_exception(): __exit__() no longer
ignores unraisable exceptions.
Fix test_io test_writer_close_error_on_close(): use a second
catch_unraisable_exception() to catch the BufferedWriter unraisable
exception.
The __exit__() method of test.support.catch_unraisable_exception
context manager now ignores unraisable exception raised when clearing
self.unraisable attribute.
It checks that a SyntaxWarning is raised when compile specified
statement, that it is raised only once, that it is converted to
a SyntaxError when raised as exception, and that both warning and
exception objects have corresponding attributes.
Historically, -m added the empty string as sys.path
zero, meaning it resolved imports against the current
working directory, the same way -c and the interactive
prompt do.
This changes the sys.path initialisation to add the
*starting* working directory as sys.path[0] instead,
such that changes to the working directory while the
program is running will have no effect on imports
when using the -m switch.
Adds `load_package_tests` function to test.support, uses it in test_asyncio,
test_email, test_json, test_tools, test_importlib and all test_importlib
sub-packages to implement test discovery.
