New submission from Matej Cepl <mc...@cepl.eu>: When testing Python from Python-3.9.0a3.tar.xz two test cases file in the limited build environment for openSUSE. We have very limited number of users there:

Whether test should be skipped if nobody doesn’t exist, or the test should switch to user 0, or the current user? ---------- components: Tests messages: 363380 nosy: mcepl, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test.test_subprocess.POSIXProcessTestCase.test_user fails in the limited build environment versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39855> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
