So the bug is actually in the multiprocessing module rather than the unittest. If HAVE_SEM_OPEN is not defined then SemLock is never built into _multiprocessing.so, but multiprocessing/syncronize.py unconditionally depends on its presence. I guess _multiprocessing could always define a dummy SemLock or synchronize.py could check before it depends on it. (it would be great to see this fixed for 2.6) -d
