+1, but I'll defer to Jack. We discussed this a while back (for Py2.2.2 IIRC), which is when I updated the README bit. FWIW, Pipermail (in Mailman) suffers the same fate and contains the following bit of code.
Thanks! I've added your code to regrtest.py. I'm reluctant to do this in PyMain(), because I don't know whether this adds to Python's resource usage; the re tests are pretty extreme. I'm also considering disabling test_largefile on Mac OSX unless a -u option is given. I'm still seeing errors in test_socket; today (on a different network) I got this: test test_socket failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/guido/python/src/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 223, in testHostnameRes ip = socket.gethostbyname(hostname) gaierror: (7, 'No address associated with nodename') --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
