cpython3_win_embed test failures with Python 3.13

[hroncok]

Issue

When I try to run the tests with Python 3.13.0a2 on Linux, I see the following 3 failures:

FAILED tests/unit/create/via_global_ref/builtin/cpython/test_cpython3_win.py::test_3_exe_on_not_default_py_host[cpython3_win_embed] - AssertionError: assert False
FAILED tests/unit/create/via_global_ref/builtin/cpython/test_cpython3_win.py::test_2_exe_on_default_py_host[cpython3_win_embed] - AssertionError: assert False
FAILED tests/unit/create/via_global_ref/builtin/cpython/test_cpython3_win.py::test_only_shim[cpython3_win_embed] - AssertionError: assert False

The failures are:

I have no idea why those tests even run on Linux. I suspect this needs some support in tests/unit/discovery/windows/winreg-mock-values.py but the values there are cryptic to me.

[gaborbernat]

Seems like a bug, why is windows running on Linux?

[hroncok]

I had the same idea. However, with Python 3.12 it passes.

[hroncok]

In Python 3.12, this code:

virtualenv/tests/unit/create/via_global_ref/builtin/testing/path.py

Line 59 in c7e57f3

return self in self.fake_files

Checks whether c:/path/to/python/python.exe is in {PathMock('c:/path/to/python/python.exe')}

In Python 3.13, it checks whether c:\path\to\python\python.exe is in {PathMock('c:\\path\\to\\python\\python.exe')}

[hroncok]

$ python3.12 -c 'import pathlib; print(pathlib.Path()._flavour.altsep)'
None

$ python3.13 -c 'import pathlib; print(pathlib.Path()._flavour.altsep)'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    import pathlib; print(pathlib.Path()._flavour.altsep)
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute '_flavour'

[hroncok]

python/cpython@c6c5665

This renames _flavour to pathmod.

[befeleme]

Python 3.13.0a6 renamed pathmod to parser (python/cpython@752e183) - it's resolvable by a simple string replacement, will post a PR.
