[issue11946] 2.7.1 'test_commands' build test fails

[Jason Vas Dias]

Jason Vas Dias <jason.vas.dias at gmail.com> added the comment:

Oops, bash <TAB> completion was a bit over-eager, and I inadvertently
built /usr/src/Python-2.7 instead  of /usr/src/Python-2.7.1 .

Nevertheless, when I finally do build Python-2.7.1, I get the same 
error :

test_commands

    self.assertTrue(re.match(pat, commands.getstatus("/."), re.VERBOSE))

I guess if python-2.7 cannot run command I'd know about it, and
it has the same bug.

I guess you ship a broken 'test_commands' test script for Python-2.7
AND Python-2.7.1 .

This does not increase my already meager confidence in Python's 
robustness and reliability.
