[Bug 1504288] Re: Test suite failure with Python 3.4 & 3.5

[Ricardo Kirkner]

Hi all,

I haven't yet had time to fix the code. From the conversation it looks
like this change was introduced in python 3.4 upstream, right? And
this was done after the latest 3.4 was released (which would explain
why the tests didn't fail for me on the other 3.4 environments --
docker, arch, etc). If we don't revert this change upstream I expect
this to be included in the next 3.4 and 3.5 official python releases,
correct?

If this change is part of the official python release, then I think
the sensible thing is to

a) mark it as a backwards incompatible change
b) fix the code that relies on the "old" behavior

I'll try to find some time to fix this in configglue so that it works
with all 3.4/3.5 versions
