[issue1704474] optparse tests fail under Jython

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Making the tests pass on Jython is certainly worthwhile, if anyone wants to do it.  At a quick glance it looks like the optparse tests just need to be updated and made a bit more lenient.  Since Jython is lagging CPython by so much a fix isn't going to help them for a quite a while even if it gets done now.

Really, this is a candidate bug to be moved to the library tracker if/when the CPython/library split happens.  So I suppose we should leave it open in anticipation of that move happening some day :)
