[issue28684] [asyncio] bind() on a unix socket raises PermissionError on Android for a non-root user

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

I suggest to write a decorator in Lib/asyncio/test_utils.py to skip AF_UNIX tests on Android if os.getuid() != 0.

Another approach is to catch the PermissionError and re-raises an unittest.SkipTest. Begin by modifying unix_socket_path() context manager in Lib/asyncio/test_utils.py.

I prefer the approach catching PermissionError: it allows to run unit tests on a flavor of Android which doesn't raise PermissionError, and it handles PermissionError on other platforms.
