Raymond Hettinger 785d0a37e5 SF bug #690083: test_random fails sometimes
time.sleep(1) sometimes delays for fractionally less than a second
resulting in too short of an interval for C's time.time() function
to create a distinct seed.

Barry Warsaw 04f357cffe Get rid of relative imports in all unittests. Now anything that
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. :)

Tim Peters 46c04e140c random.gauss() uses a piece of hidden state used by nothing else,
and the .seed() and .whseed() methods failed to reset it.  In other
words, setting the seed didn't completely determine the sequence of
results produced by random.gauss().  It does now.  Programs repeatedly
mixing calls to a seed method with calls to gauss() may see different
results now.

Bugfix candidate (random.gauss() has always been broken in this way),
despite that it may change results.
