While working on #130160 and #93096 it was decided that it would be worth paying attention to the problem of lack of tests for command line interface.

List of all cli modules is in the documentation: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/cmdline.html

Many modules are missing command line interface tests, so I suggest using this issue to submit PRs for now only for well-documented interfaces, for example:

TODO: Make sure all documented have tests for CLI (others are not so important as it has not been decided what to do with them yet)

You can use PR #127759 for dis module or #118132 for random module as a reference.
And I also suggest using subprocess.Popen to allocate a separate resource since some modules can block a lot of time.

Important

For those who want to work on the issue, please:

  • Select one module for which tests will be improved. It's easier to review and backport.
  • Open a pull request with the following title: gh-131178: Add tests for `MODULE_NAME` command-line interface
