Okay, I think I've got this figured out. It's a problem in the distutils
tests: the mechanism for saving and restoring environment variables in
Lib/distutils/tests/test_util.py
doesn't work: after the line
self.environ = os.environ
in the setUp method, self.environ and os.environ refer to the same object,
so restoring using "os.environ = self.environ" doesn't do anything.
The attached patch (against py3k) fixes the problem for me; trunk also
appears to have this bug.
Assigning to Tarek.
