I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Mac that I was going to convert into a home file server in the next couple of weeks, and I'd be glad to set it up as a build slave as well. I don't remember what version of OS X it has on it (it's still packed up in the box), but it certainly won't be the latest one. On

[Python-Dev] x86 XP trunk failure

Hi all, My build slave (http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/x86%20XP%20trunk) keeps failing because of a crash that appears to be in the bsddb module. I assume the master deems the slave to be lost because it's sitting there waiting on me to make a choice on the "debug/abort" dialog box. I

[Python-Dev] SimpleXMLRPCServer failure on G4 OS X

2007-08-14 Thread Alan McIntyre
Hi all, There are some new tests for xmlrpclib/SimpleXMLRPCServer that fail only on the G4 OS X buildbot. Unfortunately, the SimpleXMLRPCServer returns a vanilla 500 error for any local exceptions, so there's no obvious (to me) way to find out what's going wrong without having a G4 Mac on hand (w

Hasan, We made a change to bind the server to port 0, so that an unused port is selected for each test. I wasn't able to reproduce the failure after making this change; is the current trunk still failing for you? Cheers, Alan On 7/30/07, Hasan Diwan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The issue seems

[Python-Dev] Module cleanup improvement

2007-05-21 Thread Alan McIntyre
Hi all, Bug #1717900 has an example of a script that causes a (cryptic, IMO) error during module cleanup since instances of a class just happen to get destroyed after their class is destroyed, and the __del__ method manipulates a class attribute. As I understand it this is expected under the beha
