[New-bugs-announce] [issue18754] Run Python child processes in isolated mode in the test suite?

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Python 3.4 has a new command line option to run Python in isolated mode: -I.

IMO it would be nice to use this option to make the test suite more independant of the user configuration and the environment.

Attached patch modifies the test.script_helper module to use the new -I option.

Some tests rely on the current directory added to sys.path, so I had to add a python_isolated=False option to script_helper for these tests.
