Author: armin.rigo Date: Tue Oct 28 18:01:21 2008 New Revision: 67040 Log: Fix one of the tests: it relied on being present in an "output test" in order to actually test what it was supposed to test, i.e. that the code in the __del__ method did not crash. Use instead the new helper test_support.captured_output().
