I get one test failure on Mac OS 10.2.6:

test test_pwd failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Temporary Items/Python-2.3c2/Lib/test/test_pwd.py", line 42, in test_values
   self.assert_(pwd.getpwuid(e.pw_uid) in entriesbyuid[e.pw_uid])
KeyError: 'getpwuid(): uid not found'

The passwd entry on which it fails looks perfectly normal, AFAICS. We've got about 3500 entries in our passwd file, if that's of interest.

Is the password entry on which it fails a duplicate uid?  I recall 
some problems when there were two user names with the same 
uid.

This may also be a duplicate of bug # 775964, if you've got
a + on a line in your /etc/passwd file (similar to the + in
the /etc/group file discussed in that bug report).  The + is
a NIS/YP thing.
