comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
The Compare close contains a close method that checks to see if there
is any unconsumed data in the Compare instance; i.e. if the canonical
output file contains more data than was produced by the current test
run. This method was never called, allowing differences to go
undetected.
Fix is to call close after the test is run (after __import__)
output/test_long and output/test_popen2 needed trivial changes
output/test_select contained lots of text, but test_select.py produced
no output
allows the caller to execute the various tests in pseudo-random order -
default is still to execute tests in the order returned by findtests().
* moved initialization of the various flag variables to the main() function
definition, making it possible to execute regrtest.main() interactively
and still override default behavior.
weird errors. (E.g. see thread "weird bug in test_winreg" in python-dev.)
Since it's actually useful to be able to re-run an individual test
after running test.autotest, we keep the unloading code, but only for
modules whose full name starts with "test.".

test_support, test_b1 & test_b2 are executed (and warnings issued).

-v is the same as the old -vv. -q is more quiet than the old default
mode; that's fine I think.
