[Python-checkins] r45338 - python/trunk/Lib/test/test_compiler.py

New Revision: 45338

Modified:
   python/trunk/Lib/test/test_compiler.py
Log:
test_compile can be really long if we are using -u compiler.
This may be causing the debian sparc buildbot to fail.
Print a little message to let the user ^w buildbot know it's still thinking.

We may want to adjust the time period which is currently 5 minutes.

Will backport.
