[New-bugs-announce] [issue26933] android: test_posixpath fails

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

test_posixpath fails on an android emulator running an x86 system image at API level 21.

On android we have:
root at generic_x86:/data/local/tmp # python
Python 3.6.0a0 (default:f4c6dab59cd8+, May  3 2016, 10:42:45) 
[GCC 4.9 20140827 (prerelease)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import posixpath, pwd, os
>>> posixpath.expanduser("~")
'/data'
>>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()).pw_dir
'/'
>>>
