Django tests failing under Python 2.3

[Andrew Durdin]

I'm trying to run all the django tests under Python 2.3.5 (on OS X
10.4.8), and there are lots of failures (see below).
My settings file for the test is just:

DEBUG = True

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' # 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3'
or 'ado_mssql'.
DATABASE_NAME = 'test' # Or path to database file if using
sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = 'root' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost.
Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not
used with sqlite3.

ROOT_URLCONF = None

Do these indicate something screwy with my setup, or do other 2.3.5
users also get these?

here's the test command and the full output:

I'm seeing the same amount of errors on python 2.3.4, it appears the @ decorator syntax is being used in the modeltests/test-client/views.py. This was introduced in python 2.4, I changed it to the old decorator syntax 'blah = decorator(blah)' and still recieved 3 errors. So I haven't tried any further.

I've fixed the decorator usage in [4451] -- thanks for the heads up.

And I was so used to decorators that I didn't even pick up on that!

A couple of tests use assertFalse / assertTrue which were introduced
to unittest in 2.4 also; these should be changed to failIf /
failUnless respectively.

I couldn't figure out why one widget's test was giving a
UnicodeDecodeError while other extremely similar tests weren't...

I have created a ticket for this error with a patch for assertFalse and assertTrue as you noted.

http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3396

I'm still getting one error
