I don't think that it's specific to AIX, it just depends on the list of users on your system. On my Fedora 21, I have many users which have an empty home directory: - nobody - dbus - polkitd - usbmuxd - nm-openconnect - tcpdump - qemu - radvd - systemd-journal-gateway - systemd-timesync - systemd-network - systemd-resolve - systemd-bus-proxy If the test pick one of this user instead of a user with a non-empty home directory, the test fails with the same error. I propose a simple patch: test_pathlib_empty_homedir.patch ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37613/test_pathlib_empty_homedir.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19776> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
