Here's a patch. It turned out to be much more extensive than I expected, and
the diff turned into a huge huge ugly monster that I hope Rietveld can help to
make sense of, since the majority of the diff is simply changes in indentation
level.
The most major change of this patch is the addition of a "needs_symbol"
decorator to ctypes.test.__init__, which is then used throughout the tests.
Pre-patch, the tests are littered with constructs like this:
"""
class TestSomething(unittest.TestCase):
try:
c_wchar
except NameError:
pass
else:
def test_something_using_c_wchar(self):
...
"""
These have all (I think) been simplified to:
"""
class TestSomething(unittest.TestCase):
@needs_symbol('c_wchar')
def test_something_using_c_wchar(self):
...
"""
There are also several instances of tests guarded by "if sys.platform =
'win32':" or similar, which have been turned into @unittest.skipUnless, and
several tests which were commented out which have been uncommented and given
unconditional skips.
On my Gentoo machine at home, the patch takes the ctypes test suite from 348
tests with 1 skip to 422 tests with 78 skips.
