New submission from Neal Norwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Guido mentioned this in python-3000-checkins. I agree the problem should be fixed.
""" I think the automatic skip on ImportError is harmful. We should add a helper function to test_support so that you can write foobar = test_support.import_optional('foobar') and it will skip the test if foobar cannot be imported; all other failing imports should cause the test to *fail*. This should be an easy two-part task.
