</div>Hi Ariel,<br>
<br>
The short answer is that this is correct behaviour.<br>
<br>
The long answer is that in order to determine if an error or failure<br>
in Stackless is actually an error or failure IN Stackless, you need to<br>
do the same operations with standard Python. If the problems<br>
observed, happen both in standard Python and in Stackless Python, then<br>
Stackless is working fine and standard Python is not.<br>
<br>
I do not recall if I ran the unit tests when I checked in the last<br>
merge from standard Python, but I believe I would have. However, I<br>
just ran the unit tests against a fresh export of both standard and<br>
Stackless Python, and they both exhibited the same failure in<br>
distutils for me.<br>
<br>
We need to document this somewhere.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Richard.<br>
