[New-bugs-announce] [issue16056] shadowed test names in std lib regression tests

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

The attached script, named find_duplicate_test_names.py, prints
duplicate regression test method names in a given directory tree.
Running this script on the standard library test suite shows few
duplicates, see below.  It means that some of those tests are not
run while they are probably meant to be.

Here is find_duplicate_test_names.py output on the default branch:

$ ./python find_duplicate_test_names.py Lib/test
Duplicate test method names:
Lib/test/test_types.py: <module>.ClassCreationTests.test_new_class_exec_body
Lib/test/test_heapq.py: <module>.TestErrorHandling.test_get_only
Lib/test/test_complex.py: <module>.ComplexTest.test_truediv
Lib/test/test_webbrowser.py: <module>.OperaCommandTest.test_open_new
Lib/test/test_dis.py: <module>.DisTests.test_big_linenos
Lib/test/test_dis.py: <module>.DisTests.test_dis_object
Lib/test/test_import.py: <module>.ImportTests.test_import_name_binding
Lib/test/test_email/test_email.py: <module>.TestQuopri.test_encode_one_long_line
Lib/test/test_email/test_email.py: <module>.TestLongHeaders.test_splitter_split_on_punctuation_only_if_fws
