# Ridiculously simple test of the os.startfile function for Windows.

#

# empty.vbs is an empty file (except for a comment), which does

# nothing when run with cscript or wscript.

#

# A possible improvement would be to have empty.vbs do something that

# we can detect here, to make sure that not only the os.startfile()

# call succeeded, but also the the script actually has run.

import unittest

from test import test_support

# use this form so that the test is skipped when startfile is not available:
