runtests.sh -x fails to work with more than two tests; for example, running:
  $ ./runtests.sh -x test_httplib test_http_cookies test_dl
erroneously runs test_dl

By default, "sed -e s" only substitutes the first match - the invocations within runtests.sh need to add the trailing "g" flag to  substitute all matches.

From "info sed":
   The `s' command can be followed by zero or more of the following
FLAGS:
`g'
     Apply the replacement to _all_ matches to the REGEXP, not just the
     first.

Am attaching a patch.

(Seen with sed-4.2.1 on Fedora 13)

FWIW it works with two args, but adding the third fails; echoing PAT indicates the generated regex is missing the "|" separator:
^(test_httplib|test_http_cookies test_dl)$

Hello,
the patch applies cleanly against up-to-date py3k branch: is there anything else to do before committing it?

Regards,
Sandro

Fixed in py3k r85078, 3.1 r85079.  Note that the only fix required was to the 'PAT' line, the other sed expressions are operating only on single filenames-per-line and so don't need the 'g' added.

I don't see runtests.sh in 2.7 (or 2.6), yet the history goes back quite a few years...
