1 This directory only contains tests for outstanding bugs that cause

     2 the interpreter to segfault.  Ideally this directory should always

     3 be empty.  Sometimes it may not be easy to fix the underlying cause.

     4 

     5 Each test should fail when run from the command line:

     6 

     7 	./python Lib/test/crashers/weakref_in_del.py

     8 

     9 Each test should have a link to the bug report:

    10 

    11 	# http://python.org/sf/BUG#

    12 

    13 Put as much info into a docstring or comments to help determine

    14 the cause of the failure.  Particularly note if the cause is

    15 system or environment dependent and what the variables are.

    16 

    17 Once the crash is fixed, the test case should be moved into an appropriate

    18 test (even if it was originally from the test suite).  This ensures the

    19 regression doesn't happen again.  And if it does, it should be easier

    20 to track down.
