I found a problem apparently related to string handling on MacOS X 10.5/ppc with Python3 - not a new one though, at least it seemed to be present with 1.6.0b2: >>> numpy.test('full') Running unit tests for numpy NumPy version 1.6.0rc2 NumPy is installed in /sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy Python version 3.2 (r32:88445, Mar 1 2011, 18:28:16) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] nose version 1.0.0 ... ====================================================================== FAIL: test_return_character.TestF77ReturnCharacter.test_all ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/nose/case.py", line 188, in runTest self.test(*self.arg) File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/f2py/tests/test_return_character.py", line 78, in test_all self.check_function(getattr(self.module, name)) File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/f2py/tests/test_return_character.py", line 12, in check_function r = t(array('ab'));assert_( r==asbytes('a'),repr(r)) File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/testing/utils.py", line 34, in assert_ raise AssertionError(msg) AssertionError: b' ' ====================================================================== FAIL: test_return_character.TestF90ReturnCharacter.test_all ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/nose/case.py", line 188, in runTest self.test(*self.arg) File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/f2py/tests/test_return_character.py", line 136, in test_all self.check_function(getattr(self.module.f90_return_char, name)) File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/f2py/tests/test_return_character.py", line 12, in check_function r = t(array('ab'));assert_( r==asbytes('a'),repr(r)) File "/sw/lib/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/testing/utils.py", line 34, in assert_ raise AssertionError(msg) AssertionError: b' ' All the previous failures on ppc are gone now, and with Python2.[4567] all tests are passing!
