AMD64 Snow Leop 3.x: many tests are not reliable (stable) on this platform. For example, testlogging.testrace() sometimes fail with PermissionError(1, "Operation not permitted: '/tmp/testlogging-3-bjulw8iz.log'"). Another example, testasyncio.teststdinbrokenpipe() sometimes fail with an assertion error because BrokenPipeError was not raised. Do we still support this old version of Mac OS X? Released in 2009, it is 5 years old.

5 years old is not that old. I don't know what the upgrade expectations are on OS X, but I'm sure Python runs well on 5-yeard old Windows, Linuces and perhaps even FreeBSDs.

Regards

Antoine.
