1. When running in verbose mode, if any test happens to pass, print
a warning that the apparent success may be bogus (stdout isn't
compared in verbose mode). Been fooled by that too often.
2. When a test fails because the expected stdout doesn't match the
actual stdout, print as much of stdout as did match before the
first failing write. Else we get failures of the form "expected
'a', got 'b'" and a glance at the expected output file shows
500 instances of 'a' -- no idea where it failed, and, as in #1,
trying to run in verbose mode instead doesn't help because
stdout isn't compared then.
First, only report garbage that the GC cannot free. Second, only report
the number of objects found, not their repr(). People can dig deeper on
their own if they find a leak.
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).

default and -v. In default mode, the name of each test is printed.
-v is the same as the old -vv. -q is more quiet than the old default
mode; that's fine I think.
