Jeff,
I haven't delved into the unittest module, but I did create a
shell script to manually run a test from the command-line. Now
that I'm in a position of providing more help to the Jython
development, I will study the unittest and improve my own test
files.
That being said, I looked in both test_file.py and test_file_jy.py and from what I can see, there a[[ears tp be NO tests for file seeking. I used find and looked for the word .seek. test-file had several references to sys.stdin.seek. Test_file_jy had one, fp.seek(0) which didn't do anything.
I'll look in the io tests to see if I can track it down.
Jeff Allen <ja.py@farowl.co.uk> added the comment: Now we have a failing test (based on certain expectations) but: 1. Does CPython also fail this test? 2. Can you develop a change to Jython that makes it pass?
