[issue18604] Consolidate gui available checks in test.support

Ned Deily added the comment: The previous segfaults on OS X have been isolated to a problem in Cocoa Tk and an issue has been opened about it on the Tk issue tracker. See Issue22770 for details. Changesets applied to _is_gui_available() in that issue should prevent the segfaults by ensuring

Ned Deily added the comment: Earlier I noted: "Somewhat surprisingly, the segfault doesn't seem to happen under the same conditions with 2.7". I'm not sure now how I came to that conclusion then but it is incorrect: the segfault definitely also occurs under the same conditions with 2.7, at le

[issue18604] Consolidate gui available checks in test.support

Ned Deily added the comment: For some reason, the newly-added Tk instantiation check causes the OS X Cocoa Tk to segfault when tests are run under regrtest -jn option, which causes each test to be run under a separate subprocess called from a separate thread. Somewhat surprisingly, the segfau

R. David Murray added the comment: I think it is fine to backport this, since it only affects tests, and allows the backported idle tests to be consistent. For 3/4, I agree that requires should skip always if the GUI infrastructure is not available. The "don't skip if main" logic is appropria

[issue18604] Consolidate gui available checks in test.support

New submission from Terry J. Reedy: Current situation: test.support.requires starts with if resource == 'gui' and not _is_gui_available(): On windows, _is_gui_available() uses ctypes to determine that there really is a graphics screen. On other systems, it just returns True, even when it
