[New-bugs-announce] [issue16748] Ensure test discovery doesn't break for modules testing C and Python implementations

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

As pointed out by Éric Araujo in msg177908 of issue16694, tests using the idiom presented in PEP 399 are subject to breakage of test discovery.  This issue's goal is to root out and fix all usages of this idiom.

So far, only test_heapq is known to be affected.

As for fixing the issue, each module get its own mixin class, or should a simple class such as:

class TestPyAndCMixin:
    module = None

be added to test.support?
