[New-bugs-announce] [issue28484] test_capi, test_regrtest fail when multithreading disabled

[Martin Panter]

New submission from Martin Panter:

Two tests in test_capi assume that the GIL is always used, but I don’t think it is available when Python is built with “configure --without-threads”. So I propose to skip these tests if the “threading” module is unavailable.

In test_regrtest, a test is rerun using the -j2 option, which fails if multithreading is disabled. I propose to only run without -j2 if “threading” does not import.

Victor, I grouped these two changes together because both bits of code have your name on them. Hopefully you can give them a quick review :)
