[Python-Dev] okay to add new test cases to 2.6? (original) (raw)

Benjamin Peterson wound up writing a test case for the new C atexit module on the py3k branch. A similar test, though different in detail, makes sense for the Python atexit module on trunk. Is this something I can check in or should I just wait until after 2.6 is released?

def test_badargs(self):
    s = StringIO.StringIO()
    sys.stdout = sys.stderr = s
    save_handlers = atexit._exithandlers
    atexit._exithandlers = []
    try:
        atexit.register(lambda: 1, 0, 0, (x for x in (1,2)), 0, 0)
        self.assertRaises(TypeError, atexit._run_exitfuncs)
    finally:
        sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
        sys.stderr = sys.__stderr__
        atexit._exithandlers = save_handlers

Thx,
