And long story short, it gets to 201 and runs testcmdline in the same order as the buildbot did, and it succeeds too, and I curse the gods of the netherworld, and am stumped with how to proceed. Two separate buildbot runs and this same failure happened, yet for me, no. Or I'm doing something differently then the buildbot is, and I can't see what.

The buildbot user probably has different locale settings. I can simulate the failure with:

$ PYTHONFSENCODING=latin1 ./python -m test.regrtest test_cmd_line [1/1] test_cmd_line test test_cmd_line failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/antoine/py3k/svn/Lib/test/test_cmd_line.py", line 127, in test_run_code 0) AssertionError: 1 != 0

You should therefore see what the locale settings of the buildbot are (the LANG and LC_* environment variables). Of course, the test is also buggy so you should open an issue on the tracker.

(and the fact that the test doesn't print the actual error message of the spawned interpreter is unhelpful)

Regards

Antoine.
