However, I don't believe the failure is directly architecture-related, but indirectly so. For example, test execution order might not be identical on all machines, depending for example on hash values and dict bucket sizes, which I would expect to be different on different machines for any number of reasons. In my limited testing, I found the following: Ubuntu Natty 32-bit - failed. Windows 7 32-bit - failed. Ubuntu Oneiric 64-bit - passed. Linux Mint "Katya" 11 64-bit (based on Ubuntu Natty) - passed. With non-deterministic test execution order combined with module-level data updated by tests, it can be hard to reproduce these failures - a bit like uninitialised data errors in C :-( ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13193> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
