  Note that the test suite will abort if it cannot find appropriate files  
locally, _i.e._ in either the _build_ subdirectory or in place - even if  
the very same version of Pygr is already present in Python path. This  
happens by design to avoid version mismatches between Pygr and the test  
suite.

  Running the tests will display some information pertaining to their  
progress, followed by a summary. If everything is right, all tests should  
pass. Depending of what optional components are present in your system you  
may observe some test suites having been skipped.

+ * The setup script fails to invoke Pyrex correctly under Python 2.3 if  
setuptools are installed. Specifically, the following condition must be met  
for this bug to trigger:
+  * building Pygr for Python 2.3;
+  * setuptools are installed and get imported correctly;
+  * Pyrex-generated .c files are not present _or_ are older than  
respective .pyx files.
+This appears to be a bug in setuptools; we have confirmed it to be present  
in version 0.6c9 of the package. Note that this problem should not affect  
users installing packaged releases of Pygr, as these are shipped with  
pre-built .c files and thus do not invoke Pyrex.
