gh-108297: Remove test_crashers #108690
Conversation
The test was skipped in 2011 by commit 89ba56d. Scripts in Lib/test/crashers/ do not crash on a reliable way. They rely on undefined behaviors, like state of the stack memory, and so may or may not crash. It is not worth it to make sure that they crash in a continious integration, they should be run manually time to time instead.
I do not want to backport the change to stable branches, it's fine to keep test_crashers.py there, it is skipped since 2011 anyway. |

What about crashes/
dir?
Lib/test/crashes/ should stay. |

LOL. Really? Oh wow... that's the shortest test lifetime in the Python test suite :-) |
