Adds `load_package_tests` function to test.support, uses it in test_asyncio,
test_email, test_json, test_tools, test_importlib and all test_importlib
sub-packages to implement test discovery.
When test.support was converted to a package, it started silently
skipping the tests which needed to download support data to run.
This change refactors the affected code, and also tidies up
test.support.findfile to remove the unused *here* parameter, document
the *subdir* parameter and rename the *filename* parameter to avoid
shadowing the file builtin and be consistent with the documentation.
The unexpected skips were noticed and reported by Zachary Ware
This moves us further in the direction of using normal unittest facilities
instead of specialized regrtest ones. Any test module that can be correctly
run currently using 'python unittest -m test.test_xxx' can now be converted to
use normal unittest test loading by simply deleting its test_main, thus no
longer requiring manual maintenance of the list of tests to run. (Not all
tests can be converted that easily, since test_main sometimes does some
additional things (such as reap_children or reap_threads). In those cases the
extra code may be moved to setUpModule/tearDownModule methods, or perhaps the
same ends can be achieved in a different way, such as moving the decorators to
the test classes that need them, etc.)
I don't advocate going through and making this change wholesale, but any time
a list of tests in test_main would otherwise need to be updated, consideration
should instead be given to deleting test_main.
:option: is used to create a link to an option of python, not to mark
up any instance of any arbitrary command-line option. These were
changed to ````.
For modules which do have a command-line interface, lists of options
have been properly marked up with the program/cmdoption directives
combo. Options defined in such blocks can be linked to with :option:
later in the same file, they won’t link to an option of python.
Finally, the markup of command-line fragments in optparse.rst has
been cleaned to use ``x`` instead of ``"x"``, keeping that latter
form for actual Python strings.
