After 19d9f0a177de and 020ebe0be33e, test_ctypes hangs when test suite is run in sandbox. This problem occurs only in Python 3.3.

Reverting of 19d9f0a177de is sufficient to avoid this problem.

What do you call "sandbox" ?
Also, would be nice if you investigated a bit more about the causes. From the traceback, it looks like the child process is stuck inside exec().

What is this file? Where does it come from?

It's a source tarball of sandbox implementation used by default in Gentoo. Sandbox is enabled during building/testing/installation of all packages in Gentoo. Sandbox e.g. disallows write access to directories outside of build directory (even when run by root).

Alternatively you can download sources from git repository:

This issue comes from sandbox, not from ctypes.

Using sandbox, execv() C function doesn't close files with FD_CLOEXEC flag if the child program is a static program.

test_ctypes hangs on find_library() in subprocess.Popen._execute_child():
 - create a pipe for the child exception (if any)
 - fork
 - the parent reads this pipe
 - the child calls exec()
 - exec() closes the pipe and the parent continues its work
 - etc.

find_library() runs "ldconfig -p" in a subprocess, and so everything hangs on "the parent reads this pipe" because "exec() closes the pipe and the parent continues its work" doesn't occur.

If you would like to reproduce sandbox bug:

gcc sandbox_exec_bug.c -o sandbox_exec_bug
gcc -static static.c -o static
sandbox ./sandbox_exec_bug

The bug doesn't occur if static.c is not compiled with -static.

Note: I don't know if "sandbox ./sandbox_exec_bug" is the right command to run ./sandbox_exec_bug in the sandbox, I used directly LD_PRELOAD.

I close this issue because it is not a Python. I will try to open an issue in Gentoo bugtracker, but now I am too tired to do that :-)

If the child program is static, sandbox protects it using a tracing mechanism (based on ptrace with PTRACE_SYSCALL). Output is debug mode:
