Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Ahem. Interactive mode is an approved method of running Python code, along with batch mode. The core interpreter and stdlib modules should run correctly in both modes. So the entire test suite should pass in both modes too. If the tests are written correctly,

Éric Araujo added the comment: I don’t know if we should go out of our way to support running tests in interactive mode. Running them from regrtest is the recommended way. -- title: Test_argparse failure but only in interactive mode -> test_argparse failure in interactive mode _
