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 d392506c43 Tighten up some warning filters, and break some dependencies on the
order in which the tests are normally run.

Tim Peters 2f228e75e4 Get rid of the superstitious "~" in dict hashing's "i = (~hash) & mask".
The comment following used to say:
	/* We use ~hash instead of hash, as degenerate hash functions, such
	   as for ints <sigh>, can have lots of leading zeros. It's not
	   really a performance risk, but better safe than sorry.
	   12-Dec-00 tim:  so ~hash produces lots of leading ones instead --
	   what's the gain? */
That is, there was never a good reason for doing it.  And to the contrary,
as explained on Python-Dev last December, it tended to make the *sum*
(i + incr) & mask (which is the first table index examined in case of
collison) the same "too often" across distinct hashes.

Changing to the simpler "i = hash & mask" reduced the number of string-dict
collisions (== # number of times we go around the lookup for-loop) from about
6 million to 5 million during a full run of the test suite (these are
approximate because the test suite does some random stuff from run to run).
The number of collisions in non-string dicts also decreased, but not as
dramatically.

Note that this may, for a given dict, change the order (wrt previous
releases) of entries exposed by .keys(), .values() and .items().  A number
of std tests suffered bogus failures as a result.  For dicts keyed by
small ints, or (less so) by characters, the order is much more likely to be
in increasing order of key now; e.g.,

>>> d = {}
>>> for i in range(10):
...    d[i] = i
...
>>> d
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9}
>>>

Unfortunately. people may latch on to that in small examples and draw a
bogus conclusion.

test_support.py
    Moved test_extcall's sortdict() into test_support, made it stronger,
    and imported sortdict into other std tests that needed it.
test_unicode.py
    Excluced cp875 from the "roundtrip over range(128)" test, because
    cp875 doesn't have a well-defined inverse for unicode("?", "cp875").
    See Python-Dev for excruciating details.
Cookie.py
    Chaged various output functions to sort dicts before building
    strings from them.
test_extcall
    Fiddled the expected-result file.  This remains sensitive to native
    dict ordering, because, e.g., if there are multiple errors in a
    keyword-arg dict (and test_extcall sets up many cases like that), the
    specific error Python complains about first depends on native dict
    ordering.

Fredrik Lundh f785042433 a bold attempt to fix things broken by MAL's verify patch: import
'verify' iff it's used by a test module...

Marc-André Lemburg 3661908a6a This patch removes all uses of "assert" in the regression test suite
and replaces them with a new API verify(). As a result the regression
suite will also perform its tests in optimization mode.

Guido van Rossum e69d3d7587 Use __name__ instead of "test_regex" as the module name in the
warnings.filterwarnings() call.  This suppresses the warning when the
module is imported with its full name (test.test_regex) too.

Fred Drake 9a1a7dda8f The regression test for the regex module should not trip the deprecation
warning for that module, so suppress just that one warning.

Barry Warsaw 4b722788ae added test of the regex module
[NOTE: testall.py and autotest.py might could go away soon, I've
 played with Guido's new regrtest.py script and it seems to work well.
 I'll wait until Guido gives the word to completely switch over -- and
 change the Makefile too!]
