The only way I've found to actually run the codecmap tests is by 
running it over and over again, downloading the missing files when 
a test complains in between, until the tests no longer complains.

E.g 
$ make test
- test_codecmap_jp complains about a missing file
- download this file
$ make test
- test_codecmap_jp complains about another missing filie
- ...

Another problem: it is completely unclear where I should place the 
downloaded files. I've worked around this by placing the files in 
Lib/test and patching test_multibytecodec_support to look for the 
files in os.path.dirname(__file__):

cvs diff: Diffing .
Index: test_multibytecodec_support.py
=========================================
==========================
RCS file: /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/test/
test_multibytecodec_support.py,v
retrieving revision 1.5
diff -r1.5 test_multibytecodec_support.py
165a166
>         self.mapfilename = 
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), self.mapfilename)

It would be nice if there were a document that described what 
should be done to run these tests, adding the required files to CVS 
would be fine too :-)

test_normalization suffers from a simular problem.

Adding the files to the CVS is unacceptable, because they
would then end up in the distribution, and their size is
considered unacceptable for distribution (let alone
copyright issues with these files).

Could we at least get a single tarball/zip file of all of
the files? At the moment, it takes a serious amount of
effort to fetch all the files.

How about adding the files to nondist?

Just a suggestion:

Why don't we add a new resource option to the test scripts
and then have the tests download the files from the Internet
as necessary ?!

I wrote a patch that draws on lemburg's suggestion.
Please test it: SF #1276356.
