[Python-Dev] regrtest hangs on test_tk_guionly (original) (raw)

In the trunk, test_tk_guionly hangs if I run it through regrtest. This is on a Fedora Core 6 box, without X installed.

If I run test_tk_guionly directly, it exits saying there's no DISPLAY set, which is what I'd expect:

------8<------------------ [trunk]$ ./python Lib/test/test_ttk_guionly.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "Lib/test/test_ttk_guionly.py", line 11, in raise test_support.TestSkipped("ttk not available: %s" % msg) test.test_support.TestSkipped: ttk not available: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable [29788 refs] ------8<------------------

If I run regrtest with (or without) -v, it hangs without any output from test_tk_guionly:

------8<------------------ ... OK test_transformer Test multiple targets on the left hand side. ... ok

Ran 1 test in 0.020s

OK test_ttk_guionly ------8<------------------

I'm not seeing a problem in the py3k branch. There, test_tk_guionly is skipped:

------8<------------------ test_ttk_guionly test_ttk_guionly skipped -- ttk not available: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable ------8<------------------

I'm not sure how to further isolate this, since I can't duplicate it when running the test by itself. I'm mostly curious if anyone else is seeing this problem. If it's just me, I'll just switch to a Mac, where the problem doesn't occur (if for no other reason, because ttk is not available). If others are seeing a problem, I'll spend some time isolating it.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Eric.
