Summary: Python-2.1a2 tests failed on NetBSD 1.5 i386
Initial Comment:
Experiences from compiling and installing Python-2.1a2 on a NetBSD 1.5
i386 machine with the pth 1.3.7 thread implementation (thread library
installed as a NetBSD package and located in the /usr/pkg directory):
Configure done with the following command:
CFLAGS=`pthread-config --cflags` \
LDFLAGS=`pthread-config --ldflags` \
LIBS=`pthread-config --libs` \
./configure
Added thread information to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in Makefile:
CFLAGS= $(OPT) -I/usr/pkg/include -I. -I$(srcdir)/Include $(DEFS)
LDFLAGS= -L/usr/pkg/lib
Build Python-2.1a2 with the `make' command. Run tests (make test)
with the following results:
Skipped: al, bsddb, cd, cl, dl, gdbm, gl, imgfile, linuxaudiodev,
minidom, nis, pyexpat, sax, sunaudiodev, sundry, winreg, winsound
Failed: fork1, largefile, mailbox, ucn
I noticed the following strange problems: `make test' hangs forever on
test_thread, but test_thread works OK done separately. test_pty hangs
forever done separately, but works OK during `make test'.
Results from failed tests:

Thanks for the reports. Can't do much about most of these.
The test_mailbox.py failure (the real one) should be fixed
in 2.1b1,
I just checked in a fix that makes it test for the right
exception.

Message:
The last test was test_ucn and not test_mailbox. Sorry
about the cut and paste error.
