You're trying to run test_site.py directly while the current directory
is src/zope/app/component?  Hmm.  I wouldn't expect that to work.

If you only want to run the zope.app.component tests, the intended way
to do that is from the root of your Zope3 checkout, going thru the
all-purpose test.py driver.  Like so (this is on Windows, so will look
a little different):

C:\Code\Zope3>\python23\python.exe test.py -vvu --dir src\zope\app\component
Configuration file found.

All the trunk tests passed earlier today on Windows.  I see the same
kind of failure you see if I try running test_site.py directly from
src\zope\app\component\, but AFAIK test_site.py isn't intended to be
run on its own.
