Maybe this patch solves the problem: https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect/pull/109/files
I pulled pexpect 3.x from github which as I understand it is quite a few patches ahead of 3.3. $ git clone https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect.git $ cd pexpect $ git checkout 3.x then installed it into my sage 6.6 the hard way (maybe there is an easier way?) $ $HOME/sage/sage -python setup.py install --prefix $HOME/sage/local $ rm /home/wspage/sage/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect.* $ rm /home/wspage/sage/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect-2.0-py2.7.egg-info and rebuilt the sage library $ cd $HOME/sage $ ./sage -b Now I get only one failure in $ ./sage -t --long src/sage/interfaces/expect.py On 7 May 2015 at 08:34, Francois Bissey <francois.bis...@canterbury.ac.nz> wrote: > If you want doctests failures here is a sample (6.7.beta4): > sage -t --long /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py > ********************************************************************** > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", line > 285, in sage.interfaces.expect.Expect.pid > Failed example: > pid = gap.pid() > Exception raised: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/doctest/forker.py", line > 496, in _run > self.compile_and_execute(example, compiler, test.globs) > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/doctest/forker.py", line > 858, in compile_and_execute > exec(compiled, globs) > File "<doctest sage.interfaces.expect.Expect.pid[0]>", line 1, in > <module> > pid = gap.pid() > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", > line 296, in pid > self._start() > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/gap.py", line > 1168, in _start > gap_reset_workspace(verbose=False) > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/gap.py", line > 1507, in gap_reset_workspace > g.eval('SetUserPreference("HistoryMaxLines", 30)') > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/gap.py", line > 570, in eval > result = Expect.eval(self, input_line, **kwds) > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", > line 1222, in eval > for L in code.split('\n') if L != '']) > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/gap.py", line > 727, in _eval_line > self._start() > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/gap.py", line > 1163, in _start > Expect._start(self, "Failed to start GAP.") > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/interfaces/expect.py", > line 425, in _start > self._expect = pexpect.spawn(cmd, logfile=self.__logfile, > env=pexpect_env) > File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/__init__.py", line > 493, in __init__ > fd = sys.__stdin__.fileno() > ValueError: I/O operation on closed file > > this particular failure is all over the place with pexpect 3.3 so there is > something that is in need of updating on expect.py side before going ahead. > > François > >> On 7/05/2015, at 14:59, Bill Page <bill.p...@newsynthesis.org> wrote: >> >> Is there a possibility of creating an experimental package to install >> pexpect 3.3 ? >> >> I see references to "doctests failing" but no details.
