Ronald Oussoren added the comment: the test does get run with 'make buildbottest', and then fails with a ValueError exception:
$ /Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/default/tbuild/python.exe -W default -bb -E -R -m test -r -w -j 1 -u all -W --timeout=3600 test_curses Using random seed 2242495 [1/1] test_curses test test_curses crashed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/default/Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 1221, in runtest_inner test_runner() File "/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/default/Lib/test/test_curses.py", line 338, in test_main main(stdscr) File "/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/default/Lib/test/test_curses.py", line 324, in main test_unget_wch(stdscr) File "/Users/ronald/Projects/python/rw/default/Lib/test/test_curses.py", line 283, in test_unget_wch read = chr(read) ValueError: chr() arg not in range(0x110000) That might be a bug in libcurses on OSX, I haven't tested with a separate install of libcurses yet. BTW. The patch mentioned in Issue12669 looks slightly bogus: as buildbot is a daemon it might not even have a controlling tty. With some luck a proper fix will require the explicit use of a pseudo-tty. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15664> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
