      5 # time, or reloading it from a precompiled .pyc.  The "expected" failure
      6 # mode is that when test_import imports this after all .pyc files have been
      7 # erased, it passes, but when test_import imports this from
      8 # double_const.pyc, it fails.  This indicates a woeful loss of precision in
      9 # the marshal format for doubles.  It's also possible that repr() doesn't
     10 # produce enough digits to get reasonable precision for this box.
