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. :)
This applies the patch Fred Drake created to fix it.
I'm checking it in since I had to apply the patch anyway in order
to test its behavior on Windows.
ZipFile.__del__() when there was an IOError opening the underlying
file in ZipFile.__init__().
This is an odd test: since the exception is in the __del__() method,
it is not propogated. This test will trigger it but regrtest.py
does not detect the failure (not sure why); we are dependent on it
actually being noticed by a user to get a new bug report if it ever
fails. ;-(
On the other hand, this makes sure that code gets exercised, so
a failure could be noticed!
