I meant the temporary files generated during testing. The tempfile
module does this, forgot the details but the gist of it is that they
cannot always be removed manually before the program ends. But I've
addressed this myself.

Each test module has a get_suite() function that builds a test suite.
For MySQL tests there is a utility function that detects whether mysql
is properly installed. If the module is not present or if it raises
access errors of some type then the mysql tests are not added to the
test suite. It also reports the nature of the problem.

I have not gotten to the XMLRPC test but I think for that particular
test it is fine to spawn a process after all it is a standalone
server.

My preference is would be for small changes soon. By small changes I
mean making a pygr.Data like class that has the same functionality as
the current module. In fact it could be developed in parallel to the
existing module thus minimizing the disruptions.

Yes absolutely, I singled out pygrdata_test because those tests
consist of multiple steps that could be used to demonstrate how to use
the components.
