Okay. That's quite an orthogonal dimension, though, to the *relative location* of tests within the source tree.

The two aren't related, AFAICT. -- \ “There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily | `\ escaped the chronicler's mind.” —Douglas Adams | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
