Why does the unit test fail of the pyPDF2 package?

I don't know either, because I don't use Windows, but you can google for
instructions:

Even Google works:

Where you enter the expected output, instead of entering:

"TheCrazyOnesOctober14,1998Herestothecrazyones..."

instead enter:

"TheCrazyOnes\nOctober14,1998\nHerestothecrazyones..."


The point is that your expected output should contain the text actually in
the PDF file. If your expected output is different from the actual
contents, then the expectations are wrong, not your code. The test itself
is buggy.
