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:
     test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3

     test_zipfile64
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
     self.check(getattr(os, f))
   File 
"/var/www/vhosts/sitetruth.com/private/downloads/python/Python-2.7.2/Lib/test/test_os.py", 
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.)
