[Python-3000] Py3k_struni additional test failures under cygwin (original) (raw)

If I patch io.py to default to "utf-8" rather than using the filesystem encoding (ascii), that fixes a few more things. (testcoding.py and testminidom.py) How come the filesystem decoding is set to ASCII?

I guess there are two problems: a) MS_WINDOWS isn't defined, and the relevant code in bltinmodule.c doesn't special-case cygwin, and b) setlocale is defined on Cygwin, but doesn't work.

(For whats its worth, Cygwin's python 2.5 (as installed on my system) fails 2 of the tests in it's version of testmailbox.py, both with "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied").

I found that in many cases, this is a virus scanner or the indexing service interfering. They open the file, and then the test suite cannot delete it.

Regards, Martin
