Add a check for sys.platform, or just skip it?
The test suite provides ways to implement known failures on specific platforms, so I'd suggest to use those mechanisms. I've never used those, so can't comment on how much work it is to use them. If that's too difficult, just use sys.platform. >>> - tactis module is not present. > >> I'm not sure what happened here: either the alias entry is wrong >> or the codec module was not committed. > >> In either case, no one has complained about this encoding not working, >> so we can probably just remove it from the alias table.

So I'm +1 for just skipping it for now (with a XXX > comment on the right maybe). Given the old discussion on the other ticket, it's fine to remove the alias entry: # tactis codec 'tis260' : 'tactis', ---------- title: The email package should defer to the codecs module for all aliases -> The email package should defer to the codecs module for all aliases _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8898> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
