New submission from Brian Curtin <cur...@acm.org>: The fix for #2304 causes issues on Windows if you have file associations setup that aren't Python interpters. In my case I have an association setup to open .py files in gvim, which causes the shell tests to hang until I quit the editor, then it fails because the output from gvim (nothing) doesn't match what it would when run through an interpreter.
CommandsWithSpaces.test_shell_* tests should have a skip condition which checks file associations before running. The info is stored somewhere in the registry, so it should be easy to see that, e.g., gvim.exe isn't a valid Python interpreter. This issue only affects me at the moment, but it could affect other users who have tweaked file associations. ---------- assignee: brian.curtin components: Tests, Windows messages: 113794 nosy: brian.curtin, tim.golden priority: low severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Skip subprocess shell tests on Windows per file association setup type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9588> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
