New submission from Nick Coghlan: It is *not* OK to have a "test.support.HAVE_DOCSTRINGS" flag that is true under -OO, nor a requires_docstrings decorator that still attempts to run the test under those conditions.
Issue 19330 updated them so their meaning matched their names and the surrounding comments, but they were apparently being used instead to refer to a specific kind of CPython build. A more logical name for such a feature would be HAVE_C_DOCSTRINGS and requires_c_docstrings. ---------- components: Tests messages: 201379 nosy: ncoghlan, serhiy.storchaka, skrah priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add a test.support decorator for tests that require C level docstrings versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19412> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
