R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: When the zipimport test is run, encodings.ascii is imported. Then it is removed from sys.modules by the test cleanup. When the mailbox test is run, it is reimported. However, when the codecs test tries to use it, the encodings.ascii module has been finalized (as if during interpreter shutdown) by having all its globals set to None. Thus the test failure.
I haven't figured out why this is happening yet, but it seems likely that the issue is either with zipimport or with the zipimport test cleanup. I'm guessing that anything that triggers encodings.ascii to be loaded before test_codecs tries to use it will trigger the bug, but I haven't tested that theory yet. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray versions: +Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6551> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
