[New-bugs-announce] [issue19596] Silently skipped tests in test_importlib

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

Several tests in test_importlib are skipped by way of the test method consisting of a comment and a 'pass' statement.  The attached patch makes the skips explicit, using the removed comment as the reason.  Ideally these skipped tests should be removed from being 'tested' at all, since most of them are impossible to test, but I'm not sure how easy that would be to do.
