Subject: Make test_compileall more robust by using -S to keep sys.path minimized.
X-Git-Tag: v3.2rc1~390
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf9004483d20b7d17ea589851337a2207e786fb8;p=python

Make test_compileall more robust by using -S to keep sys.path minimized.

Arfrever Taifersar Arahesis reported that test_compileall failed during Gentoo
install because it was tyring to write .pyc files to a read-only system
directory during test_no_args_compiles_path.  Having subprocess call python
with -S should eliminate the system directories from the path.
