New submission from Chris Jerdonek:
The Dev Guide should say the preferred way (or even a way) to run tests using
the Python 2.7 build:
http://docs.python.org/devguide/runtests.html
This will help submitters who want to check that their patch works with 2.7.
In Python 2.7, this did not work

Do you want to propose a patch for runtest.rst?

Thanks for the patch.
I'm not sure it's necessary to add a new section though, unless you are
planning to add more differences there.
+base command instead of the one described above: ::
You can just use ... above:: here.

Chris Jerdonek added the comment:
It is a relatively large section (nine paragraphs + six code snippets) and is
primarily about the in-development branch, so I did not want to interrupt the
flow with a remark specific to 2.7. I also liked that the instructions in a
subsection could be linked
