The URL tests in tests.py can now limit the tests to be run to given URL prefixes. The test class looks for an environment variable URLPREFIX, and if it exists and is non-empty, it is expected to contain a space-separated list of URL prefix patterns for which tests should be run. test/run has been updated to place arguments given on the command line in the URLPREFIX environment variable, so you can say:

{{{
 $ test/run ipr
}}}
and only the URLs which start with /ipr will be tested.
