summary: Issue #11956: Skip testimport.testunwritabledirectory on FreeBSD when
run as root (directory permissions are ignored). The same directory permission semantics apply to other (all?) BSD-derived systems, not just FreeBSD. For example, the test still fails in the same way on OS X when run via sudo.
Thanks, I didn't know: I only noticed this on the FreeBSD buildbots (I guess OS-X buildbots don't run as root). Note that it does behave as "expected" on Linux (note the use of quotation marks, I'm not sure whether this behavior is authorized by POSIX). I changed the test to skip when the effective UID is 0, regardless of the OS, to stay on the safe side.
