I don't understand.  Why would two copies of Python be necessary to run
Python in a subprocess?

It's not of course - what I'm referring to is that you should not be using the same binary to run the test runner as you are testing. It's probably a QA/Build quirk that few others would even worry about.

Okay, well can we at least defer the removal of do_tests until after the new script can be run with Chandler's Python on all platforms? At this point, I haven't had a chance to find out whether there are any other issues with the new script (i.e. how it interacts, or doesn't, with pdb, cygterm, redirection through "less", etc.)
