Public bug reported:

I am trying to use the standard tests (like test_list.py or
test_dict.py) from the standard library (Python2.5), but they aren't
available on a standard Ubuntu Hardy or Ibex installation. Searching
in the official download, I found a rich test structure under
'Lib/test/', but in my installation, this directory doesn't contain
much. The apt-file script didn't find any packages for these specific
files either. I looked manually in any 'python-' package that seemed
reasonable (*-dbg, *-dev, for example), with no success. I asked in 
the Python mailing list, nobody seems to know about that problem.
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2008-November/516690.html)

I guess that the Python packages in Ubuntu are directly inherited from
Debian. In that case, I am willing to contact the responsible Debian
maintainers, and ask them to support the _complete_ Python distribution.

Thanks for your work!
