[issue6436] trace module doesn't seem to produce .cover files for Py3 (but does for Py2)

[Mark Summerfield]

New submission from Mark Summerfield <mark at qtrac.eu>:

When I execute the following command line (Linux, Fedora 10) using
Python 2.5 or 2.6, I get a .cover file:

python2.5 -m trace --count MyModule.py

But when I do this with Python 3.0 or 3.1, no .cover file is output.

I didn't notice anything in the documentation suggesting a change in
behaviour, but I'm not familiar with this module, so perhaps I've missed
something.
