In my fork of python/cpython I recently created a simple script to help me with my work (I am messing around in the internals and sometimes get blindsided by opcode changes). I stuck the script in Tools/script which caused test_tools.test_sundry to hang. (I suspect it's because my script reads from sys.stdin, but I'm not certain. The old Unix pipeline ways die hard.)

Looking around to see how I could modify my script to make it acceptable to test_sundry, I saw nothing about requirements. I tossed it in the TestSundryScripts.other list and now that test completes. Still, it seems there should be a bit written about what it takes for a script to be amenable to the minimal testing test_sundry.py performs.

`test_sundry` just checks to see if the script is importable, so if your script runs on import it may very well cause problems :).  Adding it to a skip list is a reasonable solution, as is making the script import-friendly (e.g. with a `if __name__ == '__main__'` check).
