On a linux box for my work, I had similar fail(test_ioctl and
test_ioctl_mutate).
My System:
* Python : 2.3.3, 2.4
* kernel : 2.4.22
* GCC : 2.95.3
* glibc : 2.2
I don't know why but somehow test_ioctl.py seems to be
invoked in the background on 'make test' process, which
resuls in 2 fails.
Maybe the easiest way to make test_ioctl fail is :
$ ./python ./Lib/test/regrtest.py test_ioctl &

Heh, yes it certainly would be easier if I (or anyone else) could
reproduce this. However, this is the first I've heard of it, and I'd
have thought/hoped that there are other people running the
release candidates on Debian testing... glibc is very much a guess
scapegoat, don't jeopardize your system just for me.
I suggested the '-r' thing because it's the sort of thing that can be
done in the background.

It's always possible that I'm doing something very silly and
not reporting it. But, as I am pressed for time, it would
be really good if you could get a failure like this running
on your own box. Hm. Maybe this means I should just
upgrade my glibc.
MAIN pion:~$ dpkg --status libc6 | grep ^Version
Version: 2.3.1-16
Hm.
Okay, I'll add -r to TESTOPTS and run lots of "make test".

This is deeply weird.
The most likely scenario that some *other* test (or combination of
tests, sigh) is tickling a bug in glibc that test_ioctl is revealing.
Evidence for/against this could be acquired by adding '-r' to
TESTOPTS and running make test a few times. But I still don't
understand why running regrtest.py from the shell passes. Unless
it's a Heisenbug, or just a flat out bug in the test.
Hmm. Ten gets you one that it's test_fork1 that buggers it up.
It seems exceedingly unlikely that this points to a real problem in
Python's ioctl code. ioctl() is not the easiest thing in the world to
write tests for...

Okay, I added "-v" to TESTOPTS in Makefile.

Oh dear.
Could you hack 'make test' to pass -v to regrtest?

I cut and pasted the unit test code and ran it, and it passed.
So I suppose it's a bug in how "make test" invokes the
test_ioctl unit test?

Can you dig? I.e. more info than "test_ioctl fails"... try running
the code that test_ioctl runs and see what that does

The stuff I posted when I opened this bug report was all
from running "make test". I have now discovered the
"regrtest.py" file and am experimenting with it. -s doesn't
seem to work for test_ioctl.py:
HACK pion:~/playground/python/python/dist/src$ ./python
./Lib/test/regrtest.py -v -s ./Lib/test/test_ioctl.py
./Lib/test/test_ioctl
test ./Lib/test/test_ioctl crashed -- exceptions.ValueError:
Empty module name
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 394, in runtest
the_package = __import__(abstest, globals(), locals(), [])
ValueError: Empty module name
1 test failed:
./Lib/test/test_ioctl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 1005, in ?
main()
File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 332, in main
os.unlink(filename)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pynexttest'
But running regrtest.py by itself runs a bunch of tests
including test_ioctl, apparently successfully:
HACK pion:~/playground/python/python/dist/src$ ./python
./Lib/test/regrtest.py
...
test_ioctl
...
224 tests OK.
31 tests skipped:
test_aepack test_al test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3 test_bz2
test_cd
test_cl test_curses test_dbm test_email_codecs test_gdbm
test_gl
test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev test_locale test_macfs
test_macostools test_nis test_normalization test_ossaudiodev
test_pep277 test_plistlib test_scriptpackages
test_socket_ssl
test_socketserver test_sunaudiodev test_timeout
test_unicode_file
test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound
4 skips unexpected on linux2:
test_dbm test_bz2 test_gdbm test_locale
So I guess this is an "issue" in the make target rather than
in the ioctl code itself...
