Assuming UNIXy OSes: make test, or if you want to save a bit of time,
make quicktest.

In 90% of all cases, the test suite is called like the module, so

   ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo

where foo is the module name should do it.  In the other 10%, you'll have
to look around a bit for the tests.  But since patching should always
include adding a test, it's necessary anyway ;)
