Ideally this directory should always +be empty. Sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause. + +Each test should fail when run from the command line: + + ./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py + +Each test should have a link to the bug report: + + # http://python.org/sf/BUG# + +Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine +the cause of the failure. Particularly note if the cause is +system or environment dependent and what the variables are. + +Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate +test (even if it was originally from the test suite). This ensures the +regression doesn't happen again. And if it does, it should be easier +to track down. |
