   There's actually some things that could affect this such as the byte order of the system, and it will change how i3 calculates the container ids.

   I think I'd have to reproduce this locally to look into it. Can you give me the dockerfile you are using to run these tests?

   Actually, I don't use Docker for running Alpine, but I made these reproduction steps on a i386 Docker image:

   docker run --rm -it i386/alpine:latest
   
   apk add git python3 py3-xlib py3-pytest py3-pytest-asyncio py3-pytest-timeout xvfb-run i3wm
   adduser -D tester
   su - tester
   git clone https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python
   cd i3ipc-python
   xvfb-run python3 run-tests.py
   

   Terminal output of above commands: GitHub gist
   (pytest hangs after printing the summary info, hence the KeyboardInterrupt at the end)

   I tried to run above steps on other 32-bit images using multiarch, but the tests passed, so I guess that the problem lies somewhere else.
