In order to test idlelib, I had to a _utest=False (unittest = False) 
parameter to some functions.  They are there when you run IDLE.

I like to put

if __name__ == '__main__': <run this file's unittest test> at the bottom 
of non-script files.  Some people don't like this, but it makes running 
the tests trivial while editing a file -- whether to make a test pass or 
to avoid regressions when making 'neutral' changes.

How would you know that you do not introduce bugs when you change code 
after testing?

When you install Python on Windows, installing the test/ directory is a 
user option.
