[New-bugs-announce] [issue47109] Old ctypes.macholib tests are ignored by python -m test

[Oleg Iarygin]

New submission from Oleg Iarygin <oleg at arhadthedev.net>:

Some tests for `ctypes.macholib.dyld` and all tests for `ctypes.macholib.dylib` and `ctypes.macholib.framework` are located outside of expected `ctypes.test` module and were not ported from `assert` to `unittest` facilities. This causes the following problems:

- the tests aren't run by `python -m test` so they are effectively dead
- an end user can run them by `python -m ctypes.macholib.dyld`, `python -m ctypes.macholib.dylib`, and `python -m ctypes.macholib.framework`
- they are available even if a user chose to install CPython without tests
