Re: [pygame] Tests crashing Automatic Build page + Compiling PyGame on Windows

Lenard,

>> I have both numpy and Numeric installed. surfarray defaults to Numeric.

I had neither; essentially a clean install of python 2.5

>> The subunit module uses os.fork which is unavailable on Windows 
(http://www.robertcollins.net/unittest/subunit/README). I don't know how 
to handle hung processes in a portable way as the os.kill function is 
only available on Unix.

That's a pity. I didn't have the time before to have a good look at it.

We could use subprocess to wrap sysinternals pskill for an os.kill on 
windows?

>> Let's hope if this is a Pygame bug it shows up in some other, more 
predictable, way soon.

Yeah, definitely


Anyway, If you (or anyone else) has any ideas for wrapping the tests up 
in subprocesses please let me know.

Cheers.
