Existing tests also use shutil, tempfile, collections, string - I see no
reason why those should be problematic for the glibc build either (and
there are enough modules of generic use in the standard library, without
dependencies on external C libraries, that I'm wary of trying to produce a
short list of modules that are OK in glibc build scripts).

OK, what I mean to suggest is a way to avoid using arbitrary pythonmodules for these scripts (matplotlib for example). If a short list istoo cumbersome then we'll just need to be very careful about it duringour reviews and specifically mention this caveat somewhere, maybe in aREADME in $(srcdir)/scripts/.
