Well, as you've seen from my previous message I'm indeed running the
test in this devious way:-)

But I must say that I'm mildly surprised that windows users not also
do this. In the MacPython installation instructions I suggest people
start by firing up the interpreter and doing "importtest.regrtest;
test.regrtest.main()". What does PythonWin suggest? That people fire
up a dos shell to run the tests? Or does it simply not suggest
anything <half-a-wink>? Or do the problems somehow not show up in
PythonWin?
