Hmm. This doesn't alleviate my confusion. :)
The relevant part of test_struct looks like:
for prefix in tuple("<>!=")+('',):
# other tests
try:
struct.pack(prefix + '?', ExplodingBool())
except IOError:
pass
else:
self.fail("Expected IOError: struct.pack(%r, "
"ExplodingBool())" % (prefix + '?'))
So the '<?' test should happen directly before the '>?' test. But the '<?'
test was apparently passing, while the '>?' one was failing. I don't see how
native_table is relevant here, but am probably missing something.
On the other hand, with the pre-patch code, we end up with a method that sets a
Python error but then returns a return value that indicates no error happened,
and all sorts of unpredictable things can happen at that point...
