I had emailed Christian around the same time you filed this. """ The problem likely not related to your hardware. I guess it's caused by tightened crypto polices. OpenSSL 1.1.1 has disabled some weak crypto. Some platforms like Debian and RHEL require even larger key sizes or have disable some algorithms. Does the test also fail with the env var OPENSSL_CONF set to a non-existing path? """ - christian.heimes testing that theory... setting OPENSSL_CONF=/invalid-path does indeed "fix" (work around) the failures. Presumably by relaxing the default system constraints. I could have that env var set for this buildbot and eliminate the failure. But do we _want_ to do that? Anyone who compiles CPython and tries to run the test suite on a modern system with such an OpenSSL configuration is going to see similar failures and likely come to us first asking about them. It seems like we'd be better off adjusting our test suite to work around the constraints or disable them only for the duration of a test intentionally violating them? ---------- title: test_httplib test_nntplib test_ssl fail on ARMv7 Ubuntu 3.7 and ARMv7 Ubuntu 3.x buildbots -> test_httplib test_nntplib test_ssl fail on ARMv7 buster/sid buildbots _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35925> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
