Quoting the path doesn't work on Win2K (cmd.exe) regardless, this is just
a hack to let the test pass again on Win2K (so long as Python isn't
installed in a path that does contain an embedded space). On Win2K it
looks like we'd also have to add a second pair of double quotes, around
the entire command line.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python
226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang
Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)
