In https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/6541 , I was requested to add tests
for an internal C function.
As I wrote in
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/6541#issuecomment-445514807 , it's not
clear from the codebase
1) where tests for internal (as opposed to public) functionality should be
located
* I only ran across very few tests for private functionality and they were located alongside the public tests. See e.g.
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/12140 -- site._getuserbase is a private function.
2) what spec one should test against since there's no official docs for
internal functionality
That time, they let it slide, but of course this is not something to make a
habit of. It still bothers me that I left unfinished business there.
Any thoughts?
