This is easy to fix: just add another entry in groups
+ def test_setgroups(self):
+ for groups in [[0], range(16)]:
I did not do it for two reasons:
1. Laziness. :-) It was easier for me to just replace "16" above with
other values in my tests than to introduce platform checks. I believe
16 groups is supported on all relevant platforms.
2. I am not sure python should support non-posix behavior and allow
more than os.sysconf('SC_NGROUPS_MAX') groups to be returned from
os.getgroups(). IMO, users who need more than 16 groups on OSX should
bug Apple to fix sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX).
