Re the problem from msg 177134 ('./python -mtest test___all__ test_xml_etree' failing), it is a a preexisting problem, in the sense that applying just the Lib/test/ part of this patch suffices to trigger it. Adding 'xml.etree' to the blacklist in test___all__.py:50 suffices to address the problem. At a guess that is because when test___all__ imports the 'xml.etree' module, it doesn't filter out the '_elementtree' symbol like test_xml_etree.py:test_main() does.
New patch attached; differences to previous version:
- Removed debug prints.
- Skip test_pickling when testing the Python xml.etree.
(The skips could be removed in the future, if/when the test___all__
interaction problem is resolved.)
