[New-bugs-announce] [issue9104] test_exceptions does not test pickling with pickle.py

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net>:

This is probably one example of many where pickling is only tested with _pickle module if it is available rather than separately with C and Python implementation.  I am attaching a patch which implements one possible testing strategy.  If this is acceptable, I think the machinery of retrieving multiple module implementations should be moved to test.support and reused in other test modules.
