[issue7668] test_httpservers fails with non-ascii path

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

CGIHTTPServerTestCase creates .py files with sys.executable in a shebang:
-----
cgi_file1 = """\
#!%s
..."""

with open(self.file1_path, 'w') as file1:
    file1.write(cgi_file1 % sys.executable)
-----
The shebang have to be the first line, and the encoding cookie (#coding:...) have to be written before any non-ASCII character. Since the shebang contains non-ASCII character, the cookie have to be written before... which is impossible.

Whereas issue #7708 contains the tested modules, this issue is specific to the tests themself.

Possible workaround: create a symbolic link to an ASCII directory (eg. "/tmp/python") and use the link in the shebang.
