Hi, when testing sage 3.0.5 using py.test, sage fails to import, because it's using input (?) stream's write and flush methods:
def __init__(self,stream,fallback): if not hasattr(stream,'write') or not hasattr(stream,'flush'): stream = fallback self.stream = stream E self._swrite = stream.write > AttributeError: DontReadFromInput instance has no attribute 'write' [/home/ondra/ext/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/IPython/genutils.py:54] ________________________________________________________________________________ Full traceback is here: http://paste.debian.net/11644 Not sure if this is a bug in Sage or py.test, but nevertheless, the following patch fixes the problem: --- /tmp/genutils.py 2008-07-19 20:50:56.000000000 +0200 +++ /home/ondra/ext/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/IPython/genutils.py 2008-07-19 21:00:16.743189357 +0200 @@ -51,8 +51,8 @@ if not hasattr(stream,'write') or not hasattr(stream,'flush'): stream = fallback self.stream = stream - self._swrite = stream.write - self.flush = stream.flush + #self._swrite = stream.write + #self.flush = stream.flush def write(self,data): try: Another way to fix it is to put these lines: import sys sys.stdin.write = 1 sys.stdin.flush = 1 into a testfile. That's what I am using now. What py.test does is that it sets sys.stdin to this class: class DontReadFromInput: """Temporary stub class. Ideally when stdin is accessed, the capturing should be turned off, with possibly all data captured so far sent to the screen. This should be configurable, though, because in automated test runs it is better to crash than hang indefinitely. """ def read(self, *args): raise IOError("reading from stdin while output is captured") readline = read readlines = read __iter__ = read But I don't understand why ipython wants to write to stdin...
