[ZODB-Dev] Repozo tests -- not

There are tests, they're just manual and spew a lot of output even when 
passing, but they do (as best I could tell) exercise the backup and 
restore cycle quite heavily.

I ran these before and after to verify they didn't fail but did exhibit 
the behaviour I was trying to fix before I started and didn't fail *and* 
didn't exhibit the behaviour I was trying to fix after.

Indeed. His test exhibited the problem prior to the fix and showed it to 
be fixed after. (since the problem was a warning generated on import)

...but didn't say what it is. Jim seemed to hint it was a Python 3 
problem. I'd warrant there are much more serious problems to be worrying 
about for Python 3 first. If Python 3 compatibility is now a requirement 
for any patches submitted, then we're well and truly fucked.

cheers,

Chris
