Dear python-devel,

I'm playing with packaging of my little project[1] and I'm a bit puzzled about the following issue.

When I go into git repo of my project and run unittests directly:

cd ~/projects/pylatest
python2 setup.py test
python3 setup.py test

Or via tox (which is configured to run both python2.7 and python3.4), it all works fine and both python2 and python3 test runs reports success.

I have the following section in my specfile[3], which executes the tests during the build (this is suggested by Packaging:Python guidelines):

%check
%{__python2} setup.py test
%{__python3} setup.py test

But when the tests are executed via rpmbuild, python2 test run reports a pass, while python3 run fails[2]. This happens both on my local machine and in copr.

Hi Martin,

can you try to run your tests with following variables defined LANG=en_GB.utf8 LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8?

Python3 uses locale.getpreferredencoding when no encoding is specified when opening a file which may be an ascii on some systems.

At this point it's clear that I'm doing something wrong and would need to inspect and fix this failure in pylatest, but I'm concerned about something else in this email:

1. How come that running tests directly gives different outcome compared to

test run executed during rpm build? Note that this seems not to be caused by different python version as it also happens on my local machine (so python version is the same).

2. Is this an expected behaviour? What do I miss then? If not, is this

interesting enough to check this issue deeper?
