Here are the notes from the commit:
{{{
Fixed #24717 -- Fixed test failures for RHEL6 SCL
The test test_unpickling_when_appregistrynotready in the package
model_regress.test_pickle fails on RHEL6 systems running python 2.7
from a RedHat Software Collection (SCL) because this test runs an
external python script with a stripped system environment. RedHat SCLs
work by setting a number of system environment variables when these
are
stripped out by this test the python 2.7 interpreter is no longer able
to function properly because it can not find the system libraries
needed
from the SCL. The solution I propose is to use mock to modify the
system
environment directly instead of passing a stripped environment. I
tested
this commit using using python 3.4.3 on Windows 7, and python 2.7 on
Windows 7, Debian 7.8, and RHEL6 with SCLs enabled.
Note that on Unix/Linux systems the code as it was before could also
break on local installs of python to a home directory or /usr/local
for
example since it was not passing variables such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
the python script it executes.
