Yes. You can also pull it from http://hg.python.org/devguide/ for a local
copy (hg.python.org also allows to download a ZIP).

My point being - isn't the official Python documentation targeted at *users*
of Python, and wasn't the devguide specifically created for *developers* of
Python? If so, then test.support clearly being the domain of developers
rather than users, belongs in the devguide.
