Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Well, without a valid MAC address the function cannot work...
On the other hand, I would not worry too much: uuid._ifconfig_getnode() is an internal function; and since all the other tests pass, uuid.getnode() probably has other ways to get a unique identifier for the machine. And by the way, in python 3.2, the test function is skipped with this message: """WARNING: uuid._ifconfig_getnode is unreliable on many platforms. It is disabled until the code and/or test can be fixed properly.""" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3581> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
