== Tests result: SUCCESS ==

1 test skipped:
    test_capi

The test modules are in a build directory.

I can see the default behavior change since ea94b3b.

My wording in the title is wrong. (Please fix)

So, it's seems that there only one test was skipped which shouldn't have been - test_capi. Is this so?

[Eclips4]

Windows build do not support --disable-test-modules feature.
Therefore there's no TEST_MODULES config var:

./python

Thanks for the report @neonene !
