Good to know, thanks. TESTFN aside, I was more interested in knowing if
there's interest in landing something like this in test.support:

def rmpath(path):
    "Try to remove a path regardless of its type."
    if os.path.isdir(path):
        test.support.rmtree(path)
    elif os.path.exists(path):
        test.support.unlink(path)
