From ccb6ee70145a2c90b309b4ea9f9c9abd0b051b37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Peters Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 03:27:31 +0000 Subject: test_pty started failing on Windows, but if and only if test___all__ was run first. Indirectly due to Skip adding check_all("pty") to test___all__: that caused the expected ImportError due to pty.py trying to import the non-existent FCNTL to get handled by test___all__, leaving a partial module object for pty in sys.modules, which caused the later import of pty via test_pty to succeed. Then test_tpy died with an AttributeError, due to trying to access attributes of pty that didn't exist. regrtest viewed that as a failure rather than the appropriate "test skipped". Fixed by deleting partial module objects in test___all__ when test___all__ handles an ImportError. --- Lib/test/test___all__.py | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'Lib/test/test___all__.py') diff --git a/Lib/test/test___all__.py b/Lib/test/test___all__.py index cced8592c4..875d99d744 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test___all__.py +++ b/Lib/test/test___all__.py @@ -6,8 +6,22 @@ def check_all(modname): try: exec "import %s" % modname in names except ImportError: - # silent fail here seems the best route since some modules - # may not be available in all environments + # Silent fail here seems the best route since some modules + # may not be available in all environments. + # Since an ImportError may leave a partial module object in + # sys.modules, get rid of that first.
