Testing
-------
-To test the interpreter, type "make test" in the top-level directory. This runs
-the test set twice (once with no compiled files, once with the compiled files
-left by the previous test run). The test set produces some output. You can
-generally ignore the messages about skipped tests due to optional features which
-can't be imported. If a message is printed about a failed test or a traceback
-or core dump is produced, something is wrong.

By default, tests are prevented from overusing resources like disk space and
memory. To enable these tests, run "make testall".
