number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
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.

'verbose' flag ala GvR updated test harness architecture.
Old way:
verbose = 0
if __name__ == '__main__':
verbose = 1
New way:
from test_support import verbose
Some other small readablility and functionality updates.
I've attempted to make a test that silently exits if either
module dl is not present, we're not on a Sun OS, or a standard
shared library ('/usr/lib/libresolv.so') is not found... Otherwise,
It does a simple test of dlmodule on that library. I *think*
this would be ok to add to testall.py but I'll wait till I hear
some feedback on the liberalness of this approach.
