Alan McIntyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: It's my fault the xmlrpc tests try to use non-blocking sockets. That got added because sometimes failing tests would just sit there with the server blocking until the entire test process got killed for running too long.
There are some tests that are skipped in test_xmlrpc because of (apparent) Windows socket quirks; should they also be skipped for OS X PPC, or should the flaky tests just be scrapped? When I was last working on this I couldn't come up with a better way to run these tests, so unless somebody can suggest a new approach I'm just left with recommending the skip & scrap options as the only way to stop the flakiness. ---------- nosy: +alanmcintyre __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1503> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
