[Tutor] Running Lib/test/test_shutil.py

Hi all,

I hope this is the best place to ask (please let me know if there is a 
more appropriate list):

Checking out CPython v3.8.0b1, I'm trying to run:

   % python Lib/test/test_shutil.py

I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "Lib/test/test_shutil.py", line 19, in <module>
     from shutil import (make_archive,
ImportError: cannot import name '_GiveupOnFastCopy' from 'shutil' 
(/usr/lib/python3.7/shutil.py)

Am I trying to run the test file in the right way?

Context: I'm proposing to add /shutil.(sym)?link/ and want to start 
writing my tests with running the existing tests :)

Is there a doc that I've missed?

Cheers!
