I just got this failure again today. I think I have seen it once or twice before. Is the failure actually indicating a problem with Python, or is the test just too strict?
It seems that it may be like a test ensuring that a random.randint(1, 100) is never equal to 81: the probability of it failing is low, but not close enough to zero to rely on it never failing. On the other hand, a test ensuring that a 512-bit cryptographic hash doesn’t collide might be valid because the probability is low enough. |
