test_tempfile fails for me on XP when Python is installed into \Program Files\Python2.3 I can't cut'n'paste from the window, but the error is C:\Program: Can't open file 'Files\Python23\python.exe' from test_tempfile, line 299.

Logged In: YES user_id=29957 Attempting the obvious fix of " " quoting sys.executable gives me a Invalid argument error from os.spawnv, so that's my windows knowledge exhausted.

Logged In: YES user_id=31511 I'm not at home so I have to paste it in here (could provide a patch later). Took me ~2 hours to fix this one (horrible win32). For more information visit http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003- August/037556.html: test_tempfile.py (295-297): decorated = '"%s"' % sys.executable tester = '"%s"' % tester retval = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, decorated, tester, v, fd)
