The unit test suite of py3k is removing the official %TEMP% directory of Windows. It's not only causing errors in the test suite but also creating havoc with other apps. I'm not sure if it is related to my PCbuild9 or some changes to the unit test suite. Since the update to VS 2008 I can't build the PCbuild any more due to some .NET problems with Nant.

I may have nailed down the issue to test_shutil.test_copytree_simple

My bad, os.removedirs is removing all parent directories until it hits a non empty dir. Fixed in r59063 and r59064

It seems that this patch has broken a lot of buildbots, e.g. http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/x86%20gentoo%20trunk/builds/2625/step-test/0

Thanks, I've changed the code slightly.
