Initial Comment:

This patch implements the solution as suggested in the 

report: if a testdir argument is provided and the test 

module is not in a package, it attempts to import modules 

from that directory. This restores compatibility with the test 

suites I wrote in Python 2.2, and does not interfere with 

the current behavior as used by the Python regression test 

suite.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Python patch policies, but it seems a 

second 2.3.x release is about to be released without this patch 

included.  This makes it difficult for users of the test suite I wrote 

to use it, because they have to replace their version of 

regrtest.py with mine, or go back to Python 2.2.  Is there 

anything else I need to do in order to get this version 

incorporated?



Thanks.
