Also, use the hasattr() like scheme of allowing BaseException exceptions through.

We probably need a function in test_support to handle this.

interpreter is killed. Patch by Adam Olsen.

This fixes the test_ssl failure.

added not finding Lib/test in the path indicated something was wrong,
but when running regtest using "python -m" Lib/test isn't typically in
the path, so this message is now more disturbing than it is helpful.

Issue #7169: Document PyFloat_AsString and PyFloat_AsReprString, and note that they are unsafe and deprecated.

This is in anticipation of possibly implementing issue 7117 (short float repr).
This removes the last calls to PyFloat_AsString, PyFloat_AsReprString, and
PyFloat_AsStringEx, which are unsafe.

Also, switch to defines for error values to bring this code more in line
with the py3k branch.

to stderr during the test run and it happened to get emitted after the
worker thread emitted the result JSON.  Now we capture stdout and stderr
separately, which avoids that problem.  It also means that _all_ stderr
output is after all stdout output when we print the test results, but
that seems acceptable, since output ordering is not guaranteed anyway.
The patch also moves the emit of the test name into the output block
generated after the test completes.  Otherwise test names and test
output/errors were mixed in the terminal display, making it difficult
to determine which test generated the output.

trying to detect proxy settings on OSX.

Using CleanImport to revert a reload of the os module doesn't work due to function registrations in copy_reg. The perils of reloading modules even for tests...

Also check and restore identity of sys.path, sys.argv and os.environ rather than just their values (this picked up a few more misbehaving tests)

Don't invoke reload(sys) and use StringIO objects instead of real files to capture stdin and stdout when needed (ensures all sys attributes remain unmodified after test_xmlrpc runs)
