Function findfile

Lib/test/support/__init__.py:791–807

Try to find a file on sys.path or in the test directory. If it is not found the argument passed to the function is returned (this does not necessarily signal failure; could still be the legitimate path). Setting *subdir* indicates a relative path to use to find the file rather than

(filename, subdir=None)
