| test_pydoc relies on pristine data to verify that the tests pass. Unfortunately there is no automated way to regenerate that pristine data, making the test easily fail if something global (e.g., __loader__ attributes on all modules) is introduced. This was seen on Python 3.0 but might also be an issue in 2.6. | ||

| Actually, I was wondering if the comparison testing is even worthwhile. All it's really going to tell is if something has changed, not if it's broken. | ||

| Is this still an issue? I'd try to reproduce it myself but there is very little data in the original report. |
