This current-version usage question should have been directed to 
python-list. pydev is only for discussion of future versions. (And if 
you are in doubt, start with python-list.)

However,

There is no such module in the test package. Hence

Believe error messages.

Look in Lib/test/test_* for the test modules you can run. I tried 
(interactively, much easier on windows)

 >>> import test.test_urllib as t; t.test_main()
 >>> import test.test_urllib_response as t; t.test_main()
 >>> import test.test_urllib2 as t; t.test_main()

and they all work. The other test_urllib* modules are
test_urllibnet
test_urllib2net
test_urllib2_localnet

If you get a failure from actually running a test, post on python-list, 
with the headers you did post here, and ask if it seems to be a problem 
with your build or python itself. You can also check the tracker to see 
if it is an already known failure. python-list people are generally very 
helpful with this sort of thing.
