  test_platform fails on OS X Snow Leopard because the UNIX command to get the
  canonical version, sw_vers, leaves off trailing zeros in the version number
  (e.g. 10.6 instead of 10.6.0). Test now compensates by tacking on extra zeros
  for the test comparison.

  Fixes issue #6806.

second instead of some fixed number.

Keeps benchmark faster by putting a cap on total execution time. Before a run
using importlib took longer by some factor, but now it takes roughly the
same amount of time as using the built-in __import__.

- add patch author to ACKS
- possibly fix test timeouts on non-linux platforms

Loosen an exception test in test_import to not require an explicit message but instead just the proper exception.

AttributeError in importlib when it should be an ImportError.

Found when running importlib against test_runpy.

Make the exception message check for malformed UTF-8 source looser so that SyntaxError triggered from UnicodeDecodeError is also acceptable.

__package__, it was used. This was incorrect since it could be set to None to
represent the fact that a proper value was unknown. Now None will trigger the
calculation for __package__.

Discovered when running importlib against test_importhooks.

attribute. Was throwing AttributeError before. Discovered when running
test_builtin against importlib.

This exception change is specific to importlib.__import__() and does not apply to
import_module() as it is being done for compatibility reasons only.

Fix the importlib_only test decorator to work again; don't capture the flag variable as it might change later.

running importlib against test___all__.

semantics.

when running entire test suite. Allows normal command-line arguments normally
given to test.regrtest to work (e.g. specifying a single test).
