- Subject: Cygwin Python regression testers wanted
I'm in the process of updating the Cygwin section of the official Python
README. Since I only have access to Windows NT 4.0 and 2000, I am
seeking Cygwin Python regression testers for the following Windows
platforms:
95
95 OSR2
98
98 Second Edition
Me
XP Home
XP Professional
If you are willing to help, then perform the following steps:
1. rebase your system [1]
a. install the rebase package via Cygwin's setup.exe (if not installed)
b. shutdown all Cygwin processes
c. start bash (do not use rxvt)
d. execute rebaseall (in the bash window)
2. run the Python regression test [2]
python -E -tt /usr/lib/python2.2/test/regrtest.py -l 2>&1 | tee regrtest.out
3. post any failures and/or hangs other than test_commands
Notes:
[1] Sorry, but Python's regression test requires a fully rebased system
to prevent Cygwin fork() problems.
[2] If a test hangs, then use regrtest.py's "-x" option to exclude this
test. For example, in the past test_select has hung under 9X/Me, so
this test can be skipped as follows:
python -E -tt /usr/lib/python2.2/test/regrtest.py -l -x test_select ...
Thanks,
Jason
