Re: [Jython-dev] Jython 2.7.1 rc3 soft release

[Jeff A. <ja...@fa...>]

I tried this on my user account "Épreuve" to check basic non-ascii 
handling on Windows. The result is not totally clean, but I would say 
we're still ok.

I used the standard installer, but to a directory within 
C:\Users\Épreuve\... as non-ascii paths to the installation directory 
were an issue. And I ran the regression tests with -e.

I get the test failures noted in http://bugs.jython.org/issue2594 and 
http://bugs.jython.org/issue2308, which involve things missing from the 
environment we deliver to users, or they are faults in the tests that 
expect something different.

I get two failures (in test_socket and test_urllib2_localnet) that are 
to do with my ISP's ever more aggressive approach to mis-typed URLs. 
This is a change for the worse. Would you believe that on my machine I 
can actually ping non.existent.server and get a round-trip time of 20ms? 
Thanks guys.

And I get showers of netty errors again. :( But not so as the test fails.

Then I tried pip, which doesn't like non-ascii paths much. pip install 
yolk (failed) and then after pip uninstall yolk,  I tried jython -m pip 
install yolk (failed). Both failed trying to encode a path to ascii (to 
write to file, I think), towards the end of the process, when running 
setup_yolk.py (I think). To my surprise, jython -m pip install sphinx 
ran to completion (a surprise since it brings so many subsidiary 
packages it seemed sure to fail). So I suspect the yolk failure, 
although it occurs down in the support libraries, actually stems from 
the use of default encoding to write FS-encoded data, traceable back to 
yolk itself.

I haven't tried this with Chinese localisation yet, as it takes a bit 
more to set up.

Bottom line: our bit works, but doesn't make up for others' 
shortcomings. We can all feel justly satisfied.
