I tried "make test", and I got:

test test_urllib failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/hans/python/cpython/cpython-2.7/Lib/test/test_urllib.py",
line 235, in test_missing_localfile
    fp.close()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'fp' referenced before assignment

Is this a bug in the test suite, or a regression in 2.7.3+ ?

This is on MacOS 10.6.5, using a checkout from hg.python.org
from earlier today.
