`python -m test -uall` will test everything (where 'python' invokes the interpreter you built, which may be "python_d.exe" on Windows if you built in Debug mode, or "python.exe" on OSX). If you're testing 2.7, '-m test' needs to be '-m test.regrtest'. For any further detail, check Tim's link to the devguide, specifically the chapter on running tests. -- Zach -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
