[New-bugs-announce] [issue3170] test_pydoc has no way to regenerate pristine data

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

test_pydoc relies on pristine data to verify that the tests pass.
Unfortunately there is no automated way to regenerate that pristine
data, making the test easily fail if something global (e.g., __loader__
attributes on all modules) is introduced.

This was seen on Python 3.0 but might also be an issue in 2.6.
