“Just like in the setup script, file and directory names in the manifest template should always be slash-separated” That's "should", not "must". Also, I thought people did undocumented things with distutils, and we had to support these undocumented uses? > In the future, please feel free to add unittest.expectedFailure > decorators to problematic tests when I’m too long to come up with a > fix, so that other people can see when their commits add problems. I don't see how adding "expected failures" solves anything. It's not clear why this failure should have been expected, rather than a bug. A "commit adding problem" should be fixed or reverted; marking some failures expected is just dodging the issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13193> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
