Errors and failures with Octave 3.8

[Arfrever]

I recently upgraded Octave from 3.6.4 to 3.8.1 and now test suite of oct2py 1.3.0 has about 28 more errors and 2 more failures. New errors and failures occur with all versions of Python.

Example error (all new errors have the same Octave error):

======================================================================
ERROR: Test the call command
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/oct2py-1.3.0/oct2py/tests/test_oct2py.py", line 567, in test_call
    out = octave.call('roundtrip.m', 1)
  File "/tmp/oct2py-1.3.0/oct2py/session.py", line 240, in call
    resp = self._eval(cmd, verbose=verbose, timeout=timeout)
  File "/tmp/oct2py-1.3.0/oct2py/session.py", line 395, in _eval

  File "/tmp/oct2py-1.3.0/oct2py/session.py", line 647, in evaluate
    raise Oct2PyError(msg)
Oct2PyError: Oct2Py tried to run:

Octave returned:

2 new failures:

These issues should be corrected in the latest master, thanks for the report.

Hi
I am packaging oct2py for Debian and I have the same issue. I'll be waiting the next release to get oct2py into the Debian archive.

[blink1073]

Excellent, thanks @noahfx! I just released 1.4.0.

@noahfx, you may want to wait until I release 1.5.0 this weekend. I removed the optional dependency on pexpect (by using the pty module directly), and added support for python 2.6.

[blink1073]

Okay, 1.5.0 is out.

@blink1073 thanks for the follow up !!! Btw with some python 3 unit tests I've found a notable increment of the memory consumption, is this normal?
