[Python-Dev] test_pwd is really slow (original) (raw)

I've been having trouble running the tests lately, because test_pwd is really slow. It's a fairly trivial set of tests -- checking the types of return values and cross-checking getpwall() vs. getpwnam()/getpwuid(). The problem is if your password database is provided by LDAP and is really big, the test takes an impractically long time.

Would anyone object if I changed the test suite to require some resource to run test_pwd? Or should I just make some local change to disable it?
