New submission from Zachary Ware:
Since test.support was moved into its own package, support.open_urlresource has been unable to work. It expects <__file__ dir>/data to exist, but since <__file__ dir> is now Lib/test/support instead of Lib/test, it doesn't unless someone creates it manually. Since open_urlresource turns all exceptions into SkipTest, this means that all test runs have been silently skipping test_codecmaps_* and a couple others since support became a package.
Here's a patch with my preferred fix, which is to move Lib/test/data to Lib/test/support/data. This dir is only used by support.open_urlresource, and moving it does just a tiny bit to de-clutter Lib/test.
