[issue19353] on RHEL6 simple build fails with test_linux_constants (test.test_resource.ResourceTest)

[Vajrasky Kok]

Vajrasky Kok added the comment:

Do we really need to test these constants in unit test?

Other constants such as RLIMIT_STACK, RLIMIT_DATA, etc are not being tested. Other consideration includes people built custom kernel without these constants, or maybe they have outdated glibc.

Additionally, it is very uncommon to use os.uname in unittest. Other than this test, it is only Lib/test/test_locale.py that uses os.uname.
