From c8aa848ece8b6745ffe905eff9202c041c2405e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brett Cannon Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 06:08:59 +0000 Subject: Have test_mkalias_relative check that sys.prefix already exists; otherwise test is pointless. Also add a note to the docs for the 'test' package that test cases should check first that any conditions needed in the operating system are met before having a test run. Closes bug #1077302.
