Subject: bug#33213: python-3/fixed and python-minimal test_socket.py
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 22:24:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181031052336.GA9940@antelope> (raw)

Hi,

python has a memory leak in the test for test_socket.py, and it was
fixed in commit 90aeaee861845142843a0f988fa4ff016c723cdb.

More information from IRC:
----8<------------------------------------------------------------
<mbakke> There is a bug in Python 3 which causes the test suite to run
    out of memory on recent kernels:
    https://bugs.python.org/issue34587
<mbakke> Unfortunately the only workaround I can think of is removing
    "/tmp/guix-build-python-3.6.5.drv-0/Lib/test/test_socket.py" some
    time during the build (but before the check phase).
----8<------------------------------------------------------------

However, python-minimal still runs test_socket, causing a memory
leak. Is it possible to change python-minimal so it uses python-3/fixed?
I was able to successfully build python-minimal by appending the fix to
python-minimal, as below. I do not know how (replacement python-3/fixed)
interacts with python-minimal.

    ;; zlib is required by 'zipimport', used by pip.
