> To check - do we definitely want to just skip the test if the below OSError is thrown?

Note: I don't propose to ignore any OSError, only if exc.errno == errno.ENOSPC.

> Could we attempt to clean wherever the test is writing to before the test is run/figure out what is using all the space?

Maybe some tests can be enhanced, but that's not directly related to this issue.

In general, Python tests don't leak any resource: memory, files, etc. If there is a leak, it must be fixed.

The test creates a file which can take up to 2 GiB on the disk. It's a big file. I don't think that other tests leak such huge file.
