By who? There is an expanding /test directory in the pythonx.y/Lib directory. Core developers run these about once a day on multiple systems. People who build their own executable should run the same. People who install a prebuilt executable may do the same, and should if they suspect a problem with their installation. Application developers increasingly have their own automated test files that they run after running /Lib/test on a new installation.
