[Python-Dev] Is test_sundry really expected to succeed on Windows? (original) (raw)

I've just managed to get Python built using the free MS compiler and tools (yay! full instructions to follow somewhere - probably the wiki and maybe as a patch to PCBuild\readme.txt)

There's one thing that puzzled me - testsundry is marked as an "unexpected skip". As it imports tty, which imports termios, which doesn't exist on Windows, I'd imagine that this is an expected skip. Is this just something people are used to ignoring, or have I got a build issue I missed?

You didn't say from where, or when, you got the Python source code. Someone recently added a bare "import tty" to test_sundry on the trunk, without realizing that would cause test_sundry to get skipped on Windows. I repaired that on the trunk about 12 hours ago, in revision 45332.
