at least on Macs?







Wouldn't hurt. Just requires tracking down which
test(s) triggers it (might be more than one and I
don't know if answering that popup applies for the
rest of the test execution or once per test if you
use -j).








If anyone starts working on this, let me know if I can

I believe that the message has to do with OS X's sandboxing
implementation and the setting of the sandbox's entitlement keys.
Here's an Apple doc:

I'm unaware of a way to work around this other than using Apple's
code signing or adjusting target build settings in XCode :( If
anyone knows a good way to workaround or manually set permission
(other than clicking the Allow button), I would be interested.

I was reading about this a few weeks ago an recall finding a way to ad-hoc sign the built python executable. Here's a link below. I haven't tried this, though, and don't know if it would work with a python executable rather than a proper OSX app. If it does work, it would be useful to add this as a tool and/or mention it in the developer docs.
