[New-bugs-announce] [issue27423] Failed assertions when running test.test_os on Windows

[Emanuel Barry]

New submission from Emanuel Barry:

Running test_os yields a ton (something like 20) failed assertion warnings. The attached screenshot is one of them (comes up a few times), but there are others. Choosing to Ignore the error makes Python think that the test was merely skipped without any error.

I'm not sure where exactly this kind of bug report goes (doesn't seem to be Python's fault), but I'm hoping some of the Windows experts can pick this up.
