Summary: Python 2.4c1 does not have universal newline support

Initial Comment:
On my WinXP SP 1 system with Python2.4c1.msi installed
the testcase test_univnewlines.py fails:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\test\test_univnewlines.py",
line 8, in -toplevel-
    raise test_support.TestSkipped, TestSkipped: This Python does not have universal
newline support

I assume Python on WinXP should have universal newline
support. This also causes 
test_subprocess.py to fail at line 334.

Furthermore my test_descr also fails, but I don't know
if it's related:

...
Testing methods...
Testing special operators...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\test\test_descr.py", line 4065,
in -toplevel-
    test_main()
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\test\test_descr.py", line 4008,
in test_main
    specials()
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\test\test_descr.py", line 1875,
in specials
    print Letter('w')
PicklingError: Can't pickle <class '__main__.Letter'>:
attribute lookup __main__.Letter failed

The three tests mentioned (test_univnewlines,
test_subprocess & test_descr) also all work correctly for me
when invoked directly, rather than through regrtest.py.

Win XP Pro, SP 1 here: 240 tests OK, 50 tests skipped (all
expected skips)

The OP needs to check their path settings and their file
associations. If 2.4c1 is installed without registering the
extensions, then the regression tests should be run using:

c:
cd \Python24\Lib\test
\Python24\python.exe regrtest.py

If the .py file association is to a previous version (e.g.
2.2), then "regrtest.py" will invoke that version.

Similarly, if a previous version is on the path, "python
regrtest.py" will also invoke the incorrect version.

Not replicated on Win2K Service Pack 4.
All named tests pass here.
