I mean that usually testing tools/libraries are separated from tests itself, as well as data. testsupport.py is not only located in the same directory - it is even named in the same way. The test directory looks like a mess with all these aux data files. But it is hard to estimate if it would be worthy to separate testing framework from tests and test data. It may happen that writing and debugging tests become harder, because Python is not locked into some specific usage domain.
Tests start with test_*, the support files don't. The only odd one out was test_support, and that has been fixed for 3.x.
The generalised test frameworks (unittest, doctest) do live in the standard library. It's only the stuff specific to our unit tests that lives in the test directory (and certainly, things from that directory will sometimes get generalised and moved to the standard library - that's how warning.catch_warnings was created).
Cheers, Nick.
