I've been having trouble running the tests lately, because testpwd 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 testpwd? Or should I just make some local change to disable it?
How about instead limiting the number of entries checked to the first 100? Try changing
entries = pwd.getpwall()into
entries = pwd.getpwall()[:100]--Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
