Inspired by a couple of issues about testing installed Python that popped up this morning (#25694 and #25696), I've set up a new set of builders[1] to build, install, and test the installed Python. They run on the same slave that runs my "x86 Gentoo Non-Debug with X" builders.
If you are interested, please have a look at how they do what they do, and let me know if you see any issues with how it's set up. Since the 3.x builder is not failing, I'm not sure whether the issues have been fixed or if I messed something up in the setup :)

I haven't looked at this, but unless the buildbot does *not* have write access to the installed directories (ie: the install was done as another user) it isn't really doing a full installed python test.
Yes, but at least it catches cases where some files are not installed. There were few issues with this.
