# HG changeset patch # User Bryan O'Sullivan # Date 1355352778 28800 # Node ID 19394633859530ef5728b486b6652ace41f94dac # Parent d5da1c5cf1f54f0d7863eb246946e59fe1dbfc78 run-tests: on windows, put correct python at front of PATH The older approach of trying to copy the python executable into the test directory was doomed to fail. There remains one weakness with this approach: if you've run "make local", tests may pick up the wrong extension DLLs from inside the source tree. I don't know why this happens. A reasonable workaround for now is to test either using --local or with a working directory that does not contain built DLLs.
