I would be surprised if I ran the tests on Windows and the output said
they were running from lib.linux-i686-2.3.
                           ^^^^^

May be worth noting too that on Windows NT/2K/XP, there's no need for the

    "\Python23\python "

parts of these command lines, if Python 2.3 is the one associated with the
.py extension.  cmd.exe (the native shell on those Windows flavors) is smart
enough to run \Python23\python.exe automatically if the first thing on the
command line ends with .py.  This is better than typing the path for another
reason:  since .py can have only one association, it's impossible to
accidentally mix Python versions if you let the shell look up the
association.
