Oh, and there's more involved in actually printing the headers if you
need to deal with non-ASCII characters ("encoded words") in the headers.
(That's in the docs for the email module, though it
the $varname format you used above).
Which you choose depends on how you want to work, but I'd recommend
.format() for most things.
Except for your os.system call, where I'd recommend using the subprocess
module instead, in which case you'd do something like this:

Yep. Run 'make test' instead of running them one by one. make test
will run them under regrtest, which has mechanisms for detecting tests
that are expected to or may reasonably fail on a given platform. Then if
you still have errors, report back

By the way, when you get closer to getting the above to work, you're

Of course, we can produce the same _effect_ as a computer science closure

Then your code that uses this can do:
