I saw those checkins go by on the checkins list - they have to do with
silencing -3 warnings for modules that the stdlib still uses in Python
2.6 for backwards compatibility reasons (but switching to the relevant
new approaches in 3.0, thus making the warnings a false alarm).

test.test_support.catch_warning is a convenient way to suppress a
warning for a small piece of code and then revert the state of the
warnings module back to the way it was afterwards.

Those imports should probably be guarded with sys.py3kwarn though, with
a standard import being used if the command line flag isn't set.

Cheers,
Nick.
