The devguide should mention running Python tests from an installed installed instance

Most distributed versions of Python include or have an option to include install the Python test suite. This is included in the main Python Makefile (Makefile.pre.in) make install step. Unfortunately, test directories to be installed need to be explicitly added to the Makefile so it is easy to overlook such a change when only running tests from a development build directory. The devguide should show how to safely test install Python and run tests with it. For most Unixy ststems, that involves something like:

./configure --prefix=/tmp/py
make -j3
make install
/tmp/py/bin/python3 -m test -w -uall -j3 ...

Comece localizando a seção do developer-guide que aborda builds e testes do Python e, em seguida, compare-a com a etapa de instalação do Makefile.pre.in e com o ponto de entrada documentado para os testes. Adicione instruções no estilo Unix para configurar, compilar, instalar e executar a suíte de testes a partir do Python instalado, incluindo as opções de teste relevantes; a documentação estará concluída quando esse fluxo de trabalho estiver claro e reproduzível.
