Yes -- but personally, to me, it's less about the option existing in order to avoid having to manually implement it, and more about the fact that it's a clear message that you have the moral right to implement it yourself for 3.9 as well. And the public documentation for the "test" module has told people that it is purely internal, unstable, liable to change at the drop of a hat, and documented purely for the benefit of people hacking on the cpython.git repository... since python 2.6 and earlier Which reinforces the point that any packages that do `import test.support` are doing something naughty and we don't need to worry about people complaining that Gentoo isn't a good upstream-compatible development environment. -- Eli Schwartz
