test_tempfile fails for me on XP when Python is
installed into
\Program Files\Python2.3

I can't cut'n'paste from the window, but the error is
C:\Program: Can't open file 'Files\Python23\python.exe'
from test_tempfile, line 299.

test_popen seems to have the same problem.

Attempting the obvious fix of " " quoting sys.executable
gives me a Invalid argument error from os.spawnv, so that's
my windows knowledge exhausted.

I'm not at home so I have to paste it in here (could provide a 
patch later). Took me ~2 hours to fix this one (horrible 
win32). For more information visit 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-
August/037556.html:

test_tempfile.py (295-297):

  decorated = '"%s"' % sys.executable
  tester = '"%s"' % tester
  retval = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, decorated, 
tester, v, fd)
