In trying to install a custom Python 3 environment on my webhost (Dreamhost), make fails because the webhost's process monitor sees the unit tests as taking too much CPU. While I am able to install the untested Python binaries with make install anyway, I would love to be able to do the build without it even trying to run the unit tests in the first place (mostly to avoid getting the "helpful" automated email from Dreamhost that suggests I upgrade to a VPS).

Since I'm only building stable releases of Python it's pretty much guaranteed that the unit tests would all pass anyway. So, is there an option to python's ./configure or make that will cause it to skip attempting to run the test suite?
