[Python-Dev] test_shutils.py fails for 2.4 install

[Edward C. Jones]

I have a PC with an AMD cpu and Mandrake 10.1. While installing Python 
2.4 "make test" failed in "test_shutils.py". Here is the output of 
"./python ./Lib/test/test_shutil.py":

test_on_error (__main__.TestShutil) ... FAIL
test_rmtree_dont_delete_file (__main__.TestShutil) ... ok
