Bobby Impollonia <bob...@gmail.com> added the comment: I am encountering this issue with py3k on a Debian machine. test_grp consistently fails due to a line with a plus sign in /etc/group
I believe that the previous patch attached to this bug is not correct due to the issues others have raised: It only handles lines with a plus sign as the name (not any name starting with '+' or '-') and it breaks out of the loop when it finds one, silently discarding any remaining lines. I've attached a new patch which preserves the functionality of getgrall but updates its docstring to document that any group names starting with '+' or '-' represent NIS-related entries. The patch fixes the test itself so that it skips over NIS-related entries rather than attempting to look them up with grp.getgrnam. With this patch applied (to the py3k branch HEAD), all regression tests pass on my machine. ---------- nosy: +bobbyi title: fix test_grp failing on RedHat 6.2 -> fix test_grp failing when NIS entries present versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19364/test_grp.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue775964> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
