to the docs is ready to go, but blocked by another JackMacLock in the
doc directory.
do bizarre things to get a temp file, I changed it to use mkstemp instead
of NamedTemporaryFile. This tried to leave the file open while passing
its name to execfile(). On Win2K (but not Win9X), though, a file created
with O_TEMPORARY cannot be opened again, so the test failed with a
permission error when execfile tried to open it. Closer to the truth:
a file created with O_TEMPORARY can be opened again, but only if the
file is also created with SHARE_DELETE access via the Win32 CreateFile()
function. There's no way to get at that from MS's version of libc, though
(we'd have to ditch the "std" C file functions in favor of Win32 API
calls).
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
and replaces them with a new API verify(). As a result the regression
suite will also perform its tests in optimization mode.

Python test suite. Specifically,
- import time instead of strop in test_b1
- test for ClassType of exceptions using isinstance instead of
equality in test_exceptions
- remove __builtins__ from dir() output in test_pkg
test_pkg output needs to be regenerated.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
