Yes I do.
Package python-test-2.7.3-13.fc18.i686 already installed and latest version

On My system:

rpm -qi --whatprovides /usr/lib/python2.7/test/test_support.py
Name        : python-libs
Version     : 2.7.3
Release     : 13.fc18
...

So test support is installed it seems.  I can "import test" but there are no modules in test.

NB: Reading the Python docs at https://docs.python.org/2/library/test.html
The top of the page says:

'''
Note

The test package is meant for internal use by Python only. It is documented for the benefit of the core developers of Python. Any use of this package outside of Python’s standard library is discouraged as code mentioned here can change or be removed without notice between releases of Python.
