You may add the issue number of your commit changelog, so a comment is generated directly in the issue. support.linux_version() may be changed for requires_linux_version(2, 6, 27), but linux_version() is always used in tests to check the Linux version. requires_linux_version() would only raise a SkipTest if the OS is Linux and if the kernel is lesser than the specified version. By the way, I like the new os.pipe2() function! You may want to document it in the "What's new in Python 3.3" doc (just mention the new function, the document will be rephrased later). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12196> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
