  Modify import of test_support so that the code can also be used with a

........

Blocking last chances to the sqlite module.

Including the full output becomes hairy in the face of the I/O system being
written in Python and thus profiled (i.e., running the test on its own and then
under regrtest created a different profile thanks to an extra flush() call in
the latter case).

No need to backport as 2.x's I/O is entirely C-based and thus not profiled.

__repr__ which caused bsddb.test.test_misc.py to fail in test03_repr_closed_db
Restore the repr so the test passes.  I think this is correct, but it would
be good to have some more review.

stuff left in here, but it should be close to accurate now.  Checked in with permission from Barry.

itertools.chain consumes its arguments lazily,
so chain(non_iterable) doesn't raise TypeError
until the first call to__next__.  The test has
been changed to reflect this.

Committing this in during the code freeze; the
checkin was approved by Barry.

Make sure we get usable error messages when text could not be decoded when fetched from the database.

  Thread.start() used sleep(0.000001) to make sure it didn't return before the
  new thread had started. At least on my MacBook Pro, that wound up sleeping for
  a full 10ms (probably 1 jiffy). By using an Event instead, we can be absolutely
  certain that the thread has started, and return more quickly (217us).

  Before:
  $  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread'  't = Thread(); t.start(); t.join()'
  100 loops, best of 3: 10.3 msec per loop
  $  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread; t = Thread()'  't.isAlive()'
  1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.47 usec per loop

  After:
  $  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread'  't = Thread(); t.start(); t.join()'
  1000 loops, best of 3: 217 usec per loop
  $  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread; t = Thread()'  't.isAlive()'
  1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.86 usec per loop

  To be fair, the 10ms isn't CPU time, and other threads including the spawned
  one get to run during it. There are also some slightly more complicated ways to
  get back the .4us in isAlive() if we want.

  Create a db_home directory with a unique name so multiple users can
  run the test simultaneously.  The simplest thing I found that worked
  on both Windows and Unix was to use the PID.  It's unique so should be
  sufficient.  This should prevent many of the spurious failures of
  the automated tests since they run as different users.

  Also cleanup the directory consistenly in the tearDown methods.

  It would be nice if someone ensured that the directories are always
  created with a consistent name.

  Get ctypes working on the Alpha (Tru64).  The problem was that there
  were two module_methods and the one used depended on the order the
  modules were loaded.  By making the test module_methods static,
  it is not exported and the correct version is picked up.

  Prevent classes like:
      class RunSelfFunction(object):
          def __init__(self):
              self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self._run)
              self.thread.start()
          def _run(self):
              pass
  from creating a permanent cycle between the object and the thread by having the
  Thread delete its references to the object when it completes.

  As an example of the effect of this bug, paramiko.Transport inherits from
  Thread to avoid it.
