Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/test In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv18947

Modified Files: test_descr.py Log Message: A tweaked version of Jeremy's patch #642489, to produce better error messages about MRO conflicts. (Tweaks here: don't print the message, but compare it with an expected string.) [...] + raises(TypeError, "MRO conflict among bases B, A", + type, "X", (A, B), {})

Unfortunately, the order of the bases in the error message depends on the order they come out of a dict. As we all know, this is not a recipe for happiness... Not sure what to do about this; I'm just going to comment this test out in my checkout so I can get on with my stuff. Shout at me if I check the test in like that!
