Subject: Stop trying to write into the stdlib during lib2to3 tests (#12331).
X-Git-Tag: v2.7.3rc1~548^2
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=498da2c16252686caa6a9a556def015ed8ed230e;p=python

Stop trying to write into the stdlib during lib2to3 tests (#12331).

This prevents tests from failing when run from a Python installed in a
read-only directory.
