  • Bugs in Python 2.3.7

    ...release. These bugs may simply be in the test suite, but they may indicate bugs in Python. The test for the ossaudiodev module hangs on some Red Hat systems. (This test is only run when regrtest.py is invoked with -u audio as argument.) test_grp and test_pwd may fail. We've had reports of this on Unix systems that use a "+" at the beginning of a line in the /etc/group or /etc/passwd file to indicate NIS/YP or LDAP consultation. The bugs may also be related to duplicate id ...
