Here test_uuid fails due to this issue.

That does not seem to be true anymore in Python 3.2.2. Would be nice if you could detect the all-zero case and just skip the test in that case. ---------- nosy: +devurandom _______________________________________ 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
