I'm building python from source and trying to figure out how to test the

the documentation and source and tried some google searches (which turn

a python distribution).
Any hints?
`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.
Sorry if I seemed a bit terse; I was just on my way downstairs. But the
front page his quite neat instructions for building and testing on most
platforms.
