Ah, yeah, this is almost certainly to do with crash/timeout. I remember running into this way back in 2008 when I was running a few slaves. Personally I think the best solution is to have the test framework allocate a single test directory, inform the parent* as to what it is, then make sure all temp files are rooted in it. The parent* should then rm -rf the tempdir at the end of the run as a final 'catch all'. parent*: this will mean different things in different contexts... could be the Tools/run_tests.py wrapper, buildbot slave wrapper, etc. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15967> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
