New submission from Hirokazu Yamamoto <ocean-c...@m2.ccsnet.ne.jp>: test_sdist fails on windows with following message.
http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk.stable/x86%20XP-4% 20trunk/builds/1823/step-test/0 ====================================================================== ERROR: test_make_distribution (distutils.tests.test_sdist.sdistTestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\trunk.bolen- windows\build\lib\distutils\tests\test_sdist.py", line 119, in test_make_distribution spawn('tar --help') File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\trunk.bolen- windows\build\lib\distutils\spawn.py", line 37, in spawn _spawn_nt(cmd, search_path, dry_run=dry_run) File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\trunk.bolen- windows\build\lib\distutils\spawn.py", line 70, in _spawn_nt cmd = _nt_quote_args(cmd) File "E:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\trunk.bolen- windows\build\lib\distutils\spawn.py", line 61, in _nt_quote_args args[i] = '"%s"' % args[i] TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment //////////////////////////////////// This can be fixed if replace spawn('tar --help') in Lib/distutils/tests/test_sdist.py with spawn(['tar', '--help']) but, "tar --help" outputs very long message, it is not beautiful. So I'll push attached patch. (This also checks gzip which requres to run test) ---------- components: Tests files: test_sdist_on_win32.patch keywords: patch messages: 80674 nosy: ocean-city severity: normal status: open title: distutils/test_sdist failure on windows versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12881/test_sdist_on_win32.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5085> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
