Python install regression test fail

[John Nagle]

Here's a result from "make", "make test" of a fresh download
of Python 2.7.2 on Linux 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp:


350 tests OK.
2 tests failed:
test_os test_site
35 tests skipped:

3 skips unexpected on linux2:
test_gdb test_tk test_ttk_guionly
make: *** [test] Error 1
-bash-3.1$


Here are the fails:

test_os
test test_os failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/var/www/vhosts/sitetruth.com/private/downloads/python/Python-2.7.2/Lib/test/test_os.py",
line 563, in helper

line 572, in check
self.assertEqual(e.errno, errno.EBADF)
AssertionError: 25 != 9
(This test expected EBADF and got ENOTTY on making a bad file
descriptor. Not clear why it got ENOTTY, but that's "Inappropriate
IOCTL", as if the file descriptor number was in use but not valid
for the test.)



test_site
test test_site crashed -- <type 'exceptions.OSError'>: [Errno 13]
Permission denied: '/var/www/vhosts/sitetruth.com/.local'
(That looks like a bug in the test suite. It shouldn't be
storing into the user's home directory.)
