Detect a conflict in the only file that should have outstanding changes
when this script is run. This doesn't matter on the trunk, but does
when run on a branch. Trunk always has the date set to today in
boilerplate.tex. Each time a release is cut with a different date,
a conflict occurs. (We could copy a known good version, but then
we would lose changes to this file.)
copy. This will hopefully catch problems where directories are added
under Lib/ but not to Makefile.pre.in. This breaks out the 2 runs
of the test suite with and without -O which is also nicer.
issues that crop up from time to time, but this change seems to have been
pretty stable (no spurious warnings) for about a week.
Other modules which use threads may require similar use of
threading_setup/threading_cleanup from test_support.
report failures, we'll see.
Skip certain hopeless tests: compiler and logging.
compiler will likely always show varying leaks since it doesn't work
on a defined set of modules unless -u compiler is specified. But that
takes forever (we only run with -u network currently).
logging causes hangs when running with -R.
This should cause few enough spurious warnings to send to python-checkins now.
If a test leaks that is not in the ignore list (LEAKY_TESTS), all tests
which leak will be reported. This includes those in the ignore list.
Hopefully that will prompt someone to fix the flakiness.
