[Python-Dev] Weird new test failures: import test.XYZ failing

[Tim Peters]

I'm seeing three seemingly unrelated failures on Windows, seemingly
unrelated to each other or to anything that's been checked in since the last
time the tests passed.  Anyone else?  I blew away my intermediate files and
rebuilt Python from scratch without visible change; debug-mode builds act
the same too; only test_pyclbr.py was changed recently, but in a way that
doesn't relate to the failure mode.

Hmm -- but every one of them *is* trying to import something with a name of
the form "test.XYZ".  Ring a bell to anyone?

The full line there is

        cm('test.test_pyclbr',

An obvious attempt to import test.test_descrtut.
