Just to clarify, this is an issue with the existing run_tests.py script 
and not the new py.test script, and this is one of the reasons you are 
happy to move to a better framework?

Once v1.5.1 is released and we can drop python2.5 I'll rebase and 
patches, clean them up a bit a apply them.

I've done some experiments on a python3 port, and had some other 
thoughts around some of these things, but I'll leave that discussion for 
another thread. I don't want to distract from a v1.5.1 release, so once 
that is out maybe I'll write up an email to start discussing some of 
these things... which should probably involve the bugs.python.org 
maintainers as well.
