R. David Murray added the comment:

You'll note that the problem shows up in the getpass module, which does have 
tests, but which does not have a test that discovers this.  That's because 
writing tests that *use* these functions is not really practical :)

Someone could open an issue about testing for the functions that are supposed 
to be available.  There could also be another issue for gettpass to test for 
the availability of the functions it actually uses.

Steve, looks like you forgot to close the issue?  Or were you waiting for 
agreement about the tests?
