A detailed description of the bug introduced in Python 2.3 is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=798274&group_id=5470&atid=105470 This patch implements the solution as suggested in the report: if a testdir argument is provided and the test module is not in a package, it attempts to import modules from that directory. This restores compatibility with the test suites I wrote in Python 2.2, and does not interfere with the current behavior as used by the Python regression test suite.
Logged In: YES user_id=34933 Sorry, I'm not familiar with Python patch policies, but it seems a second 2.3.x release is about to be released without this patch included. This makes it difficult for users of the test suite I wrote to use it, because they have to replace their version of regrtest.py with mine, or go back to Python 2.2. Is there anything else I need to do in order to get this version incorporated? Thanks.
regrtest's purpose is to test Python; third-party projects wishing to use regrtest in their own test suites would do well to customize it for their particular needs.
