If the COLUMNS environment variable is set to a value other than 80 then test_argparse.py yields 80 failures. The value of the COLUMNS environment variable affects line wrapping of the help output and the test cases assume line wraps at 80 columns. So setting COLUMNS=160, for example, then running the tests will reproduce the failures. The fix is to invoke: os.environ["COLUMNS"] = "80".
A proposed patch for py3k/Lib/test/test_argparse.py is attached (test_argparse.py.COLUMNS.patch) |
