And now for something completely different.
My root buildbot is finally now able to telnet out and get "Connection
refused" errors. (For the curious, the VirtualBox "NAT" mode doesn't
work properly, but the new "NAT Network" mode does. Why? I have no
idea. But if anyone else is having the same problem, upgrade to the
latest VirtualBox and set up a NAT Network. All I care is, it now
works.) The test suite is now failing at another point, and this
applies to 2.7, 3.3, and 3.x.
======================================================================
ERROR: test_initgroups (test.test_posix.PosixGroupsTester)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/buildarea/3.x.angelico-debian-amd64/build/Lib/test/test_posix.py",
line 1143, in test_initgroups
g = max(self.saved_groups) + 1
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The saved_groups value comes from posix.getgroups(), and it's being
used to try to get a group that this user doesn't have (I think). When
I run Python as root, posix.getgroups() returns [0], but apparently
it's not returning any groups when the test runs.
So, two questions. Firstly, is this a problem that needs to be fixed
in Python, or is it a configuration change that I made? It began
failing recently, so possibly when I rebooted the VM as part of
VirtualBox changes I mucked something up.
And secondly, how can I run the tests manually? I can't find a binary
inside the buildarea tree. Does it get deleted afterward?
Apologies if these are dumb questions, hopefully they're a small
distraction from PEP 460 arguments!
