For the record: yes this is the way regrtest works when a test named on the command line doesn't exist. Not pretty, I'll grant you.  Maybe someone will propose a patch/feature request to improve the error message some day.

Dear sir;

I will try to compile python-3.2 in REDHAT EL 6.0. There are a lot of
failure in "make test". How can I fix them?

for example test_import, test_httpserver, ....

Thanks
Abbaszadeh

Your best resources would probably be the python mailing list (python-list, see http://mail.python.org) which is also comp.lang.python, or the #python irc channel on freenode.
