New submission from David Bolen <db3l....@gmail.com>: As I mentioned in a recent python-dev post, I've noticed that the Windows build slaves are skipping tests of external modules (like ssl and bz2).
After finding an old 2.6a0 tree that I had locally built where things worked fine, I stepped through some 2.6 tags and discovered that this broke between 2.6 and 2.6.1 The problem appears to be the the change in r67121 for 2.6 (67120 in trunk) from Nov, 2008 that removed the embedded manifest. With that change, you can't import the external modules from python_d in PCBuild, so the tests will skip. Reverting just that change, even on the 2.6.1 source tree, and importing works fine. So I don't think the external module tests have been running on the Windows build slave since late 2008. I tried creating some external manifest files, but haven't been able to work around the problem so far. Perhaps embedded manifests could be permitted in debug mode and/or when building for buildbot? ---------- components: Build, Windows messages: 95227 nosy: db3l severity: normal status: open title: Unable to load external modules on build slave with debug python _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7320> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
