17393	Test runner should exclude __pycache__ directories	Ian Clelland	nobody	"Beginning with Python 3.2, the Python runtime now stores .pyc files in a subdirectory named `__pycache__`, rather than alongside their counterpart .py sources. These directories are created automatically any time that the code is imported in a Python3.2+ environment.

The test runner needs to explicitly ignore those directories when searching for tests, as it does with hidden files and directories, __init__.py files, and dirs named 'sql'. Currently, the full (auto-discovered) test suite will not run after tests have been run with Python 3.

This may have implications for other auto discovery mechanisms as well.
