(Back to ["Python3000"].)

List of tests that are failing in the py3k branch

NOTE: we've switched to a new branch. The old py3k-struni branch is dead. If you have that one checked out, don't update, but issue this command (slightly different for anonymous checkouts): svn switch svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/branches/py3k

Protocol:

• if you start working on a test, to avoid duplicate work, add your name+email+date to the bulleted item for the test below, with the text "MINE"
• if you figure out why a test is failing, just add a note (name etc. is still appreciated)
• if you fix a test, and you check in the fix, add a note "COMMITTED" with the svn revision (occasionally we'll clean these up)
• if you don't have checkin permissions, use the SF patch manager and note the patch number here (perhaps in the form of a link to python.org/sf/NNNNN), and add a note "FIXED IN SF" (plus name etc.)

How to run tests

Assume you've got the py3k branch checked out.

NOTE: we've switched to a new branch. The old py3k-struni branch is dead. See the note at the top of this page.

./configure
make
./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foobar  # runs test_foobar
./python Lib/test/test_foobar.py   # for more detail about failures

(Some tests need you to use regrtest.py -uall above.)

The Failing Tests

test_bsddb3

test_email (CosminStejerean - at least some problems seem to be caused by base64MIME, problems with splitting headers into multiple lines - 08/08/07)

test_email_codecs

test_email_renamed

Tests Failing Under Stress

A few tests pass normally but fail when run by a debug build using regrtest.py -R4:3:. This runs the test 7 times to detect leaks. The following tests have problems under this mode:

• Tests that pass but report leaks:
  • test_array leaked [11, 11, 11] references, sum=33
  • test_multibytecodec leaked [72, 72, 72] references, sum=216
    • caused by execfile(some_filename) where the file contains a coding line such as: # coding:cp949
  • test_zipimport leaked [29, 29, 29] references, sum=87
  • test_datetime leaked [5, 5, 5] references, sum=15
    • (the segfault was fixed in r56907, GvR)
• Confirmed failing tests:
  • test_structmember
  • test_collections
  • test_runpy
  • test_asynchat (seems to hang in cleanup)
• Uncofirmed failures:
  • test_gzip?
  • test_poplib? (Neal reported that it pegged the CPU)

Tests Failing on Some Platforms Only

Failing on 64-bit Platforms Only

test_ossaudiodev (64-bit: ???)

test_shelve (64-bit: ?)

Failing on CYGWIN Only

test_coding

test_marshal

Other Conditional Failures

test_shelve fails when the default database chosen by anydbm is bsddb. It works with dbm, gdbm and (presumably) with ndbm (all of which are very similar).

Other Code that is Failing

>>> exec('# coding: utf8') Traceback (most recent call last):

• File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 0

SyntaxError: expected string, bytes found

Previously Fixed Tests

python -v crashes due to infinite recursion; FIXED (w. a hack) GvR.

test_aepack (OSX only) FIXED IN SF (but somewhat hackily): http://python.org/sf/1761465 JeffreyYasskin 2007-07-26

test_applesingle (OSX only) FIXED IN SF: http://python.org/sf/1761465 JeffreyYasskin 2007-07-26

test_audioop: Fixed in r56469. MvL

test_asynchat FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1752173 Alexandre Vassalotti. COMMITTED r56290.

test_bigmem FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1752195. COMMITTED r56295.

test_bsddb: Fixed in r56754. MvL

test_cmd_line: FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1751493 ChristianHeimes -- COMMITTED

test_compile: COMMITTED r56494 GvR.

test_cookielib FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1762940 JoeGregorio. COMMITTED r56709 GvR.

test_cpickle: Deleted, with cPickle. Alexandre's SoC work should lead to cPickle becoming invisible (Brett Cannon).

test_cProfile: FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1755176 by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc COMMITTED r56406.

test_csv - Adam Hupp <firstname at lastname.org> 2007-07-21. COMMITTED GvR.

test_ctypes: ThomasHeller: FIXED r56338.

test_ctypes (another failure; Victor Stinner posted a patch to python-3000) COMMITTED r56838 Thomas Heller.

test_curses (add -uall)COMMITTED r56516 GvR.

test_datetime: pickling is broken since r56461, due to cPickle not understanding bytes. Decided the right solution is to stop using cPickle. COMMITTED r56462. GvR.

test_descr GuidoVanRossum: FIXED r56252. test_descr says: ['foo\u1234bar'] slots not caught; FIXED r56470 GvR.

test_dl FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1752229 AlexandreVassalotti 2007-07-11 COMMITTED r56288.

test_doctest: Fixed for OSX in r56468, MvL. Fixed for Ubuntu in r56472, Collin Winter.

test_frozen COMMITTED r56503 GvR.

test_ftplib: FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1755206 by Amaury Forgeot d'Arc. FIXED differently by GvR.

test_getargs: (amauryfa) I suggest to remove this test. Now that conversion from unicode to char* uses utf8, no error can occur. Deletion COMMITTED r56495 GvR.

test_gettext FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1751958 ChristianHeimes. COMMITTED r56292.

test_largefile: converted some string literals to byte literals. COMMITTED r56499 Collin Winter.

test_old_mailbox FIXED IN SF: http://python.org/sf/1757774 Alexandre Vassalotti 20 July 2007. COMMITTED r56474 GvR.

test_pep263 ChristianHeimes FIXED IN WIKI. The fix isn't worth a patch. You have to convert two string to byte by putting a b in front of them. .encode() returns bytes. COMMITTED by ThomasHeller.

test_pickle: started complaining about unhashable type: 'bytes' since MvL's checkin. COMMITTED r56461 GvR.

test_pickletools Pickle doesn't handle str vs. str8 vs. byte correctly. Do we pickle str as UNICODE or STRING? FIXED by GvR.

test_plistlib: [http://python.org/sf/1769016 FIXED IN SF (1769016)] James Brotchie 2007-08-07. COMMITTED by Neal Norwitz.

test_poll Christian Heimes FIXED IN WIKI: Replace MSG = " This is a test." with MSG = b" This is a test." COMMITTED r56285.

test_urllibnet (add -uall): FIX COMMITTED (Jeremy)

test_uu FIXED IN SF ChristianHeimes http://www.python.org/sf/1754339 The patch may fix several other unit tests, too. (A different fix was committed; GvR.)

test_uuid: COMMITTED r56471. GvR.

test_xdrlib: COMMITTED r56549.

test_xml_etree FIXED IN SF http://www.python.org/sf/1762412 JoeGregorio COMMITTED
