[issue5217] testExtractDir (test.test_zipfile.TestWithDirectory) fails when python built with srcdir != builddir

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org>:

======================================================================
ERROR: testExtractDir (test.test_zipfile.TestWithDirectory)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/home/packages/python/2.6/python2.6-2.6.1/Lib/test/test_zipfile.py",
line 991, in testExtractDir
    zipf = zipfile.ZipFile(findfile("zipdir.zip"))
  File "/home/packages/python/2.6/python2.6-2.6.1/Lib/zipfile.py", line
680, in __init__
    self.fp = open(file, modeDict[mode])
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'zipdir.zip'

test.test_support.findfile searches in sys.path and in the directory
where test_support.py is located. this seems to be wrong when python is
built with srcdir != builddir. should the test overwrite the optional
second argument when calling findfile?
