Shouldn't this be python -m test.regrtest, or even just python -m test?

resources; specifying all as an option for -u enables all possible resources. If all but one resource is desired (a more common case), a comma-separated list of resources that are not desired may be listed after -all. The command :program:python regrtest.py -uall,-audio,-largefile +all. The command :program:python -m regrtest -uall,-audio,-largefile will run :mod:test.regrtest with all resources except the audio and largefile resources. For a list of all resources and more command-line -options, run :program:python regrtest.py -h. +options, run :program:python -m regrtest -h.

Some other ways to execute the regression tests depend on what platform the tests are being executed on. On Unix, you can run :program:make test at the
