New submission from Christian Heimes: test.support declares a TEST_DATA_DIR directory inside the source tree of Python:
TEST_SUPPORT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) TEST_HOME_DIR = os.path.dirname(TEST_SUPPORT_DIR) TEST_DATA_DIR = os.path.join(TEST_HOME_DIR, "data") make distclean cleans up the very same directory, see r87481. This feature doesn't cope will with out-of-tree builds with a read-only source directory. It looks like this feature isn't used by any test module. Can I remove it? ---------- components: Tests messages: 204166 nosy: christian.heimes priority: low severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: TEST_DATA_DIR for out-of-tree builds type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19745> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
