[TIP] Fwd: Bizarre results running Hudson job + CI

After a few days of frustration  :( , I'm forwarding the message to
this list (TiP ;o) because probably somebody has a clue and can help
me to find the underlying issue.

Sorry for cross-posting

Hello !

Before asking somewhere else I wanted to tell you about an issue I
consider a bit strange . I've setup a buiild job @ testrun.org [1]_ to
test Trac XmlRpcPlugin . It doesn't use a repository 'cause source
code is checked out from a MQ repository hosted by Bb . That also
means that I had to hack a little until I found a way to work around
this.

BTW, it would be very useful (for me ;o) in order to simplify build
steps, if MQ extension could be enabled globally in build slaves . Is
there any chance for this to happen, please ?

Well, it finally worked , but the fact is that it is reporting
inconsistent results AFAICS . For instance build 22 [2]_ displays 4
failures + 19 errors . I ran the tests locally on a my PC and got

{{{

[...]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 24 tests in 45.674s

FAILED (failures=5, errors=1)
}}}

My concern is because (AFAIK) the job relies on Py 2.6, nonetheless I
get messages like this [3]_

{{{
'Internal Server Error\n\nTracError: ImportError: No module named
_multiprocessing'
}}}

:-$

Could anybody please tell me ( what's happening | how to fix this ) ?
I believed that multiprocessing was available in Py2.6 [4]_ and
previous builds didn't say anything about this and the plugin doesn't
use it (explicitly) at all ...

:-/

Any help will be much appreciated . Thnx in advance !
