Unfortunately it doesn't, because the apop method needs a timestamp in the 
welcome message in order to work.  I've adapted it to make this work---see 
attached patch 'issue6622.patch'.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.  On OS X, I usually do 
something like the following at a Terminal prompt:

newton:py3k dickinsm$ ./python.exe Lib/test/test_poplib.py

For better control over output and various other things, use the regrtest 
module:

newton:py3k dickinsm$ ./python.exe Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_poplib

(execute Lib/test/regrtest.py --help to see a list of options).
