Lines 251 to 262 in 2655369

	def test_coverage(coverdir):
	trace = support.import_module('trace')
	tracer=trace.Trace(ignoredirs=[sys.base_prefix, sys.base_exec_prefix,],
	trace=0, count=1)
	tracer.run('import importlib; importlib.reload(cmd); test_main()')
	r=tracer.results()
	print("Writing coverage results...")
	r.write_results(show_missing=True, summary=True, coverdir=coverdir)
	if __name__ == "__main__":
	if "-c" in sys.argv:
	test_coverage('/tmp/cmd.cover')

Output:

» ./python.exe Lib/test/test_cmd.py -c
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/sobolev/Desktop/cpython2/Lib/test/test_cmd.py", line 262, in <module>
    test_coverage('/tmp/cmd.cover')
  File "/Users/sobolev/Desktop/cpython2/Lib/test/test_cmd.py", line 252, in test_coverage
    trace = support.import_module('trace')
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'test.support' has no attribute 'import_module'

Even, if refactored to:

def test_coverage(coverdir):
    from test.support import import_helper
    trace = import_helper.import_module('trace')
    tracer=trace.Trace(ignoredirs=[sys.base_prefix, sys.base_exec_prefix,],
                        trace=0, count=1)
    tracer.run('import unittest; unittest.main()')
    r=tracer.results()
    print("Writing coverage results...")
    r.write_results(show_missing=True, summary=True, coverdir=coverdir)

It still does not work, no file is generated.

I propose to remove it, since -T works just fine:

» ./python.exe -m test -T test_cmd
