[issue15521] Dev Guide should say how to run tests in 2.7
New submission from Chris Jerdonek:
The Dev Guide should say the preferred way (or even a way) to run tests using the Python 2.7 build:
http://docs.python.org/devguide/runtests.html
This will help submitters who want to check that their patch works with 2.7.
In Python 2.7, this did not work (for obvious reasons):
$ ./python.exe -m test .../python.exe: No module named test.__main__; 'test' is a package and cannot be directly executed
But this did:
$ ./python.exe -m test.regrtest
Is the latter the preferred way?

I didn't catch that, thanks.

Thanks for the patch. I'm not sure it's necessary to add a new section though, unless you are planning to add more differences there.
+base command instead of the one described above: ::
You can just use "... above::" here.

Chris Jerdonek added the comment:
It is a relatively large section (nine paragraphs + six code snippets) and is primarily about the in-development branch, so I did not want to interrupt the flow with a remark specific to 2.7. I also liked that the instructions in a subsection could be linked to.
But here is a new patch.
