This wiki is in the process of being archived due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies. Edits are discouraged.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

This page documents all tests that should be added (or improved) to enhance the Python distribution's test suite for the standard library. Checking Coverage to see if there are any tests that could be improved or are missing, would be a real help. Also if you just generally think that a unit test needs improving, please add it here with a list of what could be improved.

If you feel that you would like to work on a test, please write your name in the 'Volunteer' column of the table below, alongside the name of the test you wish to work on.

Please try to get all tests in alphabetical order
