James Spurin added the comment: I encountered similar issues to those discussed in this issue whilst compiling 3.4.1 on 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)'
In particular, the following tests were failing - [root@lonlx90800 ~]# /local/0/python-3.4.1/bin/python3 /local/0/python-3.4.1/lib/python3.4/test/test_asyncio/test_subprocess.py F.......F....... ====================================================================== FAIL: test_broken_pipe (__main__.SubprocessFastWatcherTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/local/0/python-3.4.1/lib/python3.4/test/test_asyncio/test_subprocess.py", line 129, in test_broken_pipe self.loop.run_until_complete(proc.communicate(large_data)) AssertionError: BrokenPipeError not raised ====================================================================== FAIL: test_broken_pipe (__main__.SubprocessSafeWatcherTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/local/0/python-3.4.1/lib/python3.4/test/test_asyncio/test_subprocess.py", line 129, in test_broken_pipe self.loop.run_until_complete(proc.communicate(large_data)) AssertionError: BrokenPipeError not raised In this case, the issues are being caused by the following kernel parameters that we have for our default build - ######################### ## TIBCO network tuning # ######################### net.core.rmem_default = 33554432 net.core.wmem_default = 33554432 net.core.rmem_max = 33554432 net.core.wmem_max = 33554432 Toggling the support.PIPE_MAX_SIZE to +32MB or temporarily removing these parameters mitigates the issue. Is there a better way of calculating support.PIPE_MAX_SIZE so it is reflective of the actual OS value? ---------- nosy: +spurin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17835> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
