From the tests for Vec2D.__abs__ in the turtle module we have:

    def test_distance(self):
        vec = Vec2D(6, 8)
        expected = 10
        self.assertEqual(abs(vec), expected)


        vec = Vec2D(0, 0)
        expected = 0
        self.assertEqual(abs(vec), expected)


        vec = Vec2D(2.5, 6)
        expected = 6.5
        self.assertEqual(abs(vec), expected)

The first test was reported as failing in issue #44728, with error:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_distance (test.test_turtle.TestVec2D)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError: 9.999999999999998 != 10

The first and last test should use assertAlmostEqual with a suitable tolerance (the default tolerance is probably fine).

> The first and last test should use assertAlmostEqual with a suitable tolerance (the default tolerance is probably fine).

The merged PR only added tolerance to the last test. On some architectures, the first test still fails.

Low priority, but it may also be worth updating the implementation of `Vec2D.__abs__`. It currently looks like this:

    def __abs__(self):
        return (self[0]**2 + self[1]**2)**0.5

But would be more robust if it used hypot:

    def __abs__(self):
        return math.hypot(self[0], self[1])

Apologies; looks like I'm out of date on this. It's already using hypot, which makes it more than a little worrying that it doesn't get the right answer for `Vec2D(6, 8)`.

Sorry again, all; I failed to read everything that was going on here. The test *wasn't* failing with the hypot-based version of Vec2D.__abs__ that's in the main branch; only with the "**0.5"-based version that was still in the older branches. Please ignore this and the previous two messages ...
