Hi Christian and Amaury (and anyone else with a Windows setup who would like to help!),
I noticed that both of you are contributing fixes for Windows-specific issues. Could I get your help with some other Windows issues?
See e.g. the failures on http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/3.0/x86%20XP-3%203.0/builds/182/step-test/0
I'd be happy to give you some pointers on specific failures if you can't figure out what might cause them. (To find the errors, scroll to the end and then scroll up; or search for "Re-running failed tests in verbose mode".) Please CC Neal Norwitz as well, he may have some suggestions as well.
Some random notes:
It looks like there are some CRLF issues. Quite a few things complain about mysterious syntax errors; I see some problems where \n characters seem to appear or disappear.
Most of the mailbox test failures seem due to a failed cleanup in the second failing test (note how it prints FAIL and then ERROR -- that suggests the ERROR happened in the tearDown()).
In general, whenever you see other failures mentioning things like "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: '@test'" it's probably a failed test not properly cleaning up; a lot of tests either don't always close files (could use try/finally: f.close()) or don't remove them. (The best way to remove files btw is typically test_support.remove().)
Thanks in advance to anyone who fixes a Windows bug in Py3k!
