Comment:

 This patch is *totally unacceptable* as is.  The problem is this:

 (1) Turn off your internet connection, then

 (2) Try doing "sage -python setup.py install", and you get
 {{{

 }}}

 Now imagine that you're building Sage from source on an airplane, or while
 camping, or working at a job which for security reasons doesn't allow
 outside network connections.

 Options:

 (1) Get zope.testbrowser included as a standard sage package.

 (2) Make the dependency on zope.testbrowser optional.
