mapping tests as possible in mapping_test.py and reuse the tests in
test_dict.py, test_userdict.py, test_weakref.py, test_os.py and test_shelve.py.
From SF patch #736962.
and test_support.run_classtests() into run_unittest()
and use it wherever possible.
Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but
"from test import test_support" in a few spots.
From SF patch #662807.
tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke
the test for Irmen de Jong. Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam()
for details. Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good
if we supplied a different implementation.
Bugfix candidate.
* Adds missing pop() methods to weakref.py
* Expands test suite to broaden coverage of objects with
a mapping interface.

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 is a big one, touching lots of files. Some of the platforms
aren't tested yet. Briefly, this changes the return value of the
os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the
time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into
pseudo-sequences. When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as
before. But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year. The
stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes
that are not available through the sequence interface (because
everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't
be added there). If your platform's struct stat doesn't define
st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python
either.
(Still missing is a documentation update.)
+ test_quopri.py relied on significant trailing spaces. Fixed.
+ test_dircache.py (still) doesn't work on Windows (directory mtime on
Windows doesn't work like it does on Unix).
