Ned Deily added the comment: "Not sure that we have any precedent for dealing with tests that require admin privileges when installed but not in the source tree?"
I think we do. With the OS X installer (and, in theory, other Posix-style installs), we have a similar situation where tests are installed without a source tree and I believe they should be expected to be runnable by the user without admin privileges, where necessary, skipping those few test cases that *might* actually need elevated privs. Granted, we currently don't do a lot of systematic testing of tests from installed locations. I do as part of the OS X installer building and testing. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
