[Python-3000] Python 3.0 test results on F8

[Frank]

Hi,
    I'm using F8 and received the following output after running 'make test':

292 tests OK.
2 tests failed:
    test_multiprocessing test_sys
27 tests skipped:
    test_bz2 test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp
    test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_ctypes test_curses
    test_dbm_gnu test_dbm_ndbm test_kqueue test_nis test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_socketserver test_sqlite
    test_ssl test_startfile test_tcl test_timeout test_urllib2net
    test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound test_xmlrpc_net
    test_zipfile64
6 skips unexpected on linux2:
    test_dbm_ndbm test_bz2 test_ssl test_ctypes test_tcl test_dbm_gnu

Should I be concerned?  Though I expect the answer to be 'No', is Python 3.0 just as ok to use as if all the tests passed?

Sincerely,
Frank Martinez

It might help some readers (including me) if you had mentioned what F8
is (besides the caption of a key on my keyboard).

Depends on what you want to do with Python.

Definitely not. Some things will not work. If you want to debug this,
you should start looking into the test_sys failure.

Most usefully, to get more details on what is breaking, try running:

./python -m test.regrtest -v test_multiprocessing test_sys

The unexpected skips listed later would just be due to missing extension
modules that you don't have the pieces installed to build.

(Hmm, might F8 be 'Fedora 8'? If so, then you definitely shouldn't be
getting failures)

Cheers,
Nick.

True, but the OP also is apparently missing a lot of stuff that I
would expect on a Fedora box (including libpng IIRC). That suggests
either a heavily modified installation, or one that is so stripped
down that almost nobody ever tries to test Python in that context.
