What happens if you change this line: self.assertEquals(platform.__builtins__.__class__, "<type 'dict'>") To something like: self.assertEquals(platform.__builtins__.__class__, type(dict())) or self.assertEquals(str(platform.__builtins__.__class__), "<type 'dict'>") -- mph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
