* SF bug 613233: test_threadedtempfile hangsTim Peters2002-09-251-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A possibility to deadlock (on the hidden import lock) was created here in 2.3, seemingly when tempfile.py started to call functions in random.py. The cure is "the usual": don't spawn threads as a side effect of importing, when the spawned threads themselves do imports (directly or indirectly), and the code that spawned the threads is waiting for the threads to finish (they can't finish, because they're waiting for the import lock the spawner still holds). Worming around this is why the "test_main" mechanism was introduced in regrest, so it's a straightforward fix. NOT a bugfix candidate; the problem was introduced in 2.3.
* Get rid of relative imports in all unittests. Now anything thatBarry Warsaw2002-07-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support". This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by Lib/email/test/data). Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)

* Guido found a brand new race in tempfile on Linux, due to Linux changingTim Peters2001-01-131-0/+85
pid across threads (but in that case, it's still the same process, and so still sharing the "template" cache in tempfile.py). Repaired that, and added a new std test. On Linux, someone please run that standalone with more files and/or more threads; e.g., python lib/test/test_threadedtempfile.py -f 1000 -t 10 to run with 10 threads each creating (and deleting) 1000 temp files.
