This mail can appear as if advocating the transfer of Lib/test into Tests/, but this is not my intention here. Honest :-) I'm just trying to understand the history and rationale behind this structure in the CPython project.
My understanding (I could well be wrong) is that one reason is that we prefer that the tests be installed. That is also the reason that a number of tests that use large data files fetch them from the network (if and only if the relevant resource is enabled). -- R. David Murray http://www.bitdance.com
