test method       - call os.method
test_mkdir(self)  - os.chdir
test_access(self) - os.utime
test_chmod(self)  - os.utime

Is the test correct ?

Here is the code from test_os.py for Python 2.6.5.

def test_mkdir(self):
    self.assertRaises(WindowsError, os.chdir, test_support.TESTFN)
def test_access(self):
    self.assertRaises(WindowsError, os.utime, test_support.TESTFN, 0)
def test_chmod(self):
    self.assertRaises(WindowsError, os.utime, test_support.TESTFN, 0)

The OP is saying shouldn't there be calls to os.mkdir, os.access and os.chmod respectively?

Already fixed in 2.7, 3.1 and 3.2.

Nice catch Roumen.

Mark, can you tell which revisions the bug was fixed in? (writing “rNNN” or “rev NNN” will generate appropriate links) Thanks.

Éric please see R69364.

Thanks. I trust you that the other branches are fixed too; in future messages on other bugs reports, kindly include all revisions involved.

I’ve learned that Roundup does not recognize an upper-case R (have I already said I hate implicit markup?).
