"python -m test --coverage" doesn't work on Windows because the tracer ignores the root directory of Python source code. The code works on Linux because sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix don't point to the Python source code, but to /usr/local. I'm not sure why sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix are ignored.
