[SciPy-dev] test errors blocking 0.7.x branch

[Jarrod Millman]

I have been meaning to look into this today, but haven't had enough
time.  So I thought I would just send it to the list, in case some
else can get to this before me.  I am seeing the following errors:

The last two have been around for awhile (I don't think they were
being run until the switch to nose).  They don't bother me too much,
since they are related to wx support for weave and appear to have been
broken for some time.  The first error seems a little more serious.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix them?  If not, should we just
mark them as known errors and go ahead and make the release?
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jarrod
