_______________________________________________________
Details:
In a number of places in the relax test suite, the 'with self.assertRaises():'
logic has been recently added:
[edward@localhost relax-trunk]$ grep -r "with self.assert" test_suite/
test_suite/system_tests/relax_disp.py: with
self.assertRaises(RelaxError):
test_suite/system_tests/relax_disp.py: with
self.assertRaises(RelaxError):
test_suite/system_tests/relax_disp.py: with
self.assertRaises(RelaxError):
[edward@localhost relax-trunk]$
This is however fatal for Python 2.5 and 2.6. This is the conversion of this
method into a 'context manager'
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertRaises>.
The bug causes the devel_scripts/python_multiversion_test_suite.py script to
hardlock on Python 2.5, blocking the testing of Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1,
3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 (earlier Python versions between 1.0 and 2.4 fail before
reaching the hardlock). As many relax users still use Python 2.5 and 2.6, due
to servers using long term service RHEL or other releases, this target must be
adhered too. I do not know how to work around this issue, but it needs to be
fixed urgently so that a functional relax 3.3.2 version for older Python
versions can be released before users start complaining.
