Disable tests that use multithreading on sparc #124

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It seems that numexpr has some problem with multithreading on sparc machines 
(see #77).

A workaround has been introduced in 9898bc327cba.
It consists in forcing the default number of threads to 1 on sparc.

Please consider to merge the changeset 681de8747764 of [1] that also disables 
unittest related to threading on sparc.
This fix has been applied in debian [2] to avoid test failures during the 
automatic package build,

Also changeset 54a14272f098 of [1] fixes a small typo.
