[New-bugs-announce] [issue2398] test_errno fails with unexpected error value EREMOTEIO

[Andy Balaam]

New submission from Andy Balaam <mail at artificialworlds.net>:

Running test_errno on my 32-bit Ubuntu Gutsy machine gives me this:

$ ./python Lib/test/test_errno.py
test_for_improper_attributes (__main__.ErrnoAttributeTests) ... FAIL
test_using_errorcode (__main__.ErrnoAttributeTests) ... ok
test_attributes_in_errorcode (__main__.ErrorcodeTests) ... ok

I've attached a patch which changes test_errno.py so that its list of
expected errors exactly matches the possible errors listed in
Modules/errnomodule.c in the latest SVN trunk.

I don't know whether this is the right solution, but the patch is there
if it is :)

Apologies if I've misunderstood something, or formatted the patch wrong
etc.  This is my first Python patch.
