test suite hangs forever

[anthraxx]

I try to run the test suite to check for regressions but it hangs forever and never terminates.

neither ./run_tests nor ./run_tests -t regression.uts -K netaccess works, while it passes for the old python2 variant.

Any ideas how to get info or solve it?
cheers

You should try using latest secdev scapy version, it's starting to support python 3 quite correctly

@gpotter2 doesn't matter at all for this issue report. Also latest original scapy release is not fully python 3 functional... even if it would be, that doesn't matter at all for this bug report

@anthraxx Do you run it with sudo? Some of the tests require root rights and may hang without it. As the tests require sudo anyway for correct function, it is a low priority issue for now.

@phaethon i see, can you point out which tests exactly and if i can skip them using -K ? excluding netaccess doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm looking forward to test as much as possible without uid=0

Those are all automaton tests. I am going to significantly revise automaton in line and style of recent python3 developments, and then I would rewrite the tests, too.
Theoretically, the tests could be moved into a separate file until they are revised. If this is important for you, please, make such a pull request.
