If the env_vars argument to assert_python_failure or assert_python_ok is empty the test will run in isolated mode (-I) which means that the PYTHONPATH environment variable will be ignored and the test fails because the isal module can not be found, or the test is run usung the system installed version of the module instead of the newly built module that should be tested. By adding a dummy entry to the env_vars argument the isolated mode is not used and the PYTHONPATH environment variable is not ignored and the test works as expected.

Looks good! Could you add the explanation in a comment in the code somewhere? These dummy vars are going to be a bit puzzling without the proper context. |
I have put a comment in the code. |

Looks good to me! Is this part of some packaging project given the type of bugs you are unearthing? |
