New submission from Larry Hastings:
If you extract current Python (3.4 or trunk) into a directory, and anywhere in
the name of the directory is the string "bad", such as
/tmp/badtest
/home/baddison/src/python
then test_write_filtered_python_package() in Lib/test/test_zipfile.py will
fail. The reason is, the third subtest uses a "filterfunc" to ignore certain
files, and its test to ignore files is effectively
"bad" in fn
("fn" is an ill-conceived abbreviation for "filename")
This is overbroad. Changing it to
"Lib/test/bad" in fn
prevents this error.
I'm creating this issue just to remind myself to fix it. 3.4.1 is tagged and I
didn't want to re-cut the release, but I didn't feel like pushing it while
3.4.1 hadn't landed in trunk yet.
