[New-bugs-announce] [issue16790] provide ability to share tests between int and long tests

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

Currently, adding new int() and long() tests that are common to both requires duplicating the tests in both test_int and test_long, which makes the tests harder to review and maintain and keep in synch.

Providing a simple way to share tests between test_int and test_long will simplify adding new tests for issues like issue 16784, issue 16761, and issue 16772.

This issue isn't applicable to 3.x because in 3.x test_int and test_long both test int(), so it doesn't make sense to repeat tests in both.
