For an example:

http://tjg.org.uk/test.log Thank you! After inspecting all the errors, it does seem that they are ALL caused by "bare" os.unlink/rmdir calls. So it seems that a massive undertaking of ferreting out these locations and replacing them with their support equivalents would be needed to have a passing test suite for you.

Thanks for checking. As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I propose to go through and apply support.unlink where necessary. It won't make things any worse and will hopefully improve in some areas.

For test_mailbox I've experimentally implemented a hybrid tempfile / local directory solution. ie I've created a new file on each run, but only within the python_ folder which already exists. As long as the directory cleans up there should be no leftovers. That's certainly helped although my re-run harness has provoked at least one error.
