To Fix

  • test_doctest - unicode problem
  • test_generators - tracebacks have extra blank lines apparently; different syntax errors causing doctest to reject; GC dependencies; also parser probs
  • test_inspect
  • test_list, test_userlist - test_set_subscript
  • test_multibytecodec
  • test_multibytecodec_support
  • test_site - del sys.setdefaultencoding does nothing
  • test_struct - needs new 2.5 struct.Struct type and pack_into/unpack_from
  • test_unicode - lack of idna encoding (which needs unicodedata)
  • test_univnewlines - test_doctest failures don't restore sys.stdin -- causes to skip (it normally passes)
  • test_with - 1 failure, testNestedSingleStatements (__main__.ExceptionalTestCase), this is a tricky one
  • test_zipfile - possibly struct issues?

Flaky/arch?

  • test_scope - sometimes fails due to GC - is this still the case?
  • test_socket - historically this is the case on SO_RCVBUF, SO_SNDBUF
  • test_tuple - sometimes OutOfMemoryErrors during regrtest (when creating a set from a large list of small tuples). maybe not the tests fault, but the fact that the regrtest progressively uses more and more memory as it goes: http://pylonshq.com/pasties/917

Parser

  • test_builtin - compile/exec/eval problems
  • test_compile - over acceptance of incorrect syntax; need to raise problems with unicode being declared to have an encoding!
  • test_contextlib - likely parser eval order
  • test_decorators - eval order
  • test_generator - parser probs

Development

  • test__rawffi (for ctypes, ported from PyPy)
