[Python-checkins] r82850 - python/branches/py3k/Lib/test/support.py

[Brett Cannon]

Can I ask why you did this?

And just for historical background, the reason this was originally 0 instead
of None is that before absolute imports an entry in None was used to force
an absolute import instead of a relative import in a package. This doesn't
come into play in Python 3, though.
