This is partially done. See here: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/19c74cadea95/Lib/test/regrtest.py#l1810 # Run the tests in a context manager that temporary changes the CWD to a # temporary and writable directory. regrtest sets things up such that the current working directory is supposed to be this temp directory (constructed from _make_temp_dir_for_build()). But the tests adhere to this only weakly. Many or most tests create their own temp directory rather than relying on the caller having set the current working directory to a temp directory. If the tests used a common API, we could control this behavior globally. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
