this isn't and has never been a unit test; it was never enabled in the
build system and won't do anything useful unless you replace the "FIXME"
strings with a real directory first.
i just implemented it in the form of a JunitTest 10 years ago because it
happened to be the most convenient way at the time to round-trip a bunch
of documents.
recently it somehow got translated to a PythonTest, and apparently that
never worked (as you found).
perhaps it's best to just remove the file so people don't get confused.
