Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Problem solved at least for me with a new patch:
D:\Python\dev\py33\PCbuild> python_d -m test test_idle [1/1] test_idle Warning -- os.environ was modified by test_idle 1 test altered the execution environment: test_idle ...> python_d -m test ... [154/373/2] test_httpservers [155/373/2] test_idle [156/373/2] test_imaplib ... The new patch has two simple changes to test_idle. 1. The traceback David and I saw started in regrtest.runtest_inner: the_package = __import__(abstest, globals(), locals(), []) The rest of the calls were in unittest. This line runs fine in isolation, but it does not matter; regrtest does not want the test to run when it imports the file. Add 'if name ...' to guard main(...). 2. With no test_main present, the key line of runtest_inner is tests = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromModule(the_module) Unittest.main makes the same call to look for, among other things, a load_tests function. Import load_tests from idlelib.idle_test. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30326/idletest3.diff.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15392> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
