Bill listed several other failures he saw on the buildbots and I see the same set, plus testposix.

Still, the question would be whether any of these failures can manage to block a release. Are they regressions from 2.6? The testposix failure is a regression from 2.6 (but it only shows up on some machines - it is caused by a fairly braindead implementation of a couple of posix apis by Apple apparently). http://bugs.python.org/issue7900 There are various patches available and a lot of work that has gone into diagnosing it - but there was some disagreement on what is the best way to fix it. Two of the other failures I'm pretty sure are problems in the test suite rather than bugs (as Bill said) and I'm not sure about the ctypes issue. Just starting a full build here.

Right now I'm only seeing these two failures on Mac OS X (10.6.4):

 test_posix test_urllib2_localnet

All the best,

Michael

Michael That would make them good candidates for release blockers. Except that I still would like to see commitment from somebody to fix them or else they can't block the release: if "we" don't mean that supporting a platform also means volunteering to fix bugs, then I guess "we" should stop declaring the platform supported. Just wishing that it was supported actually doesn't make it so.

If the test failure isn't a regression, I think it shouldn't block the release. Regards, Martin
