While this one was fixed quickly, *please* don't comment tests out without some kind of explanation in the code (not just in the checkin message).

Even better is to use the expected_failure() decorator or the skip() decorator. <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-checkins>

I just saw this test failing in some bots and wanted to fix it ASAP, without spending time on a real investigation. The follow-up fix came less than 2 hours later. But yes, I agree that commenting out wasn't a good choice - I should've just deleted it for the time I was working on a fix. By the way, I later discussed the failing test with Florent and http://bugs.python.org/issue14035 is the result. That failure had made no sense until Florent got deeper into import_fresh_module. Eli
