Remove useless import, remove useless assignment variables and be
pep8 compliant.

Remove useless import, remove useless assignment variables and be pep8 compliant.

A few details.
As a general comment, one of the very important part of PEP 8 is at the very beginning:
"A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds" (...) "However, know when to be inconsistent -- sometimes style guide recommendations just aren't applicable. " followed by "good reasons to ignore a particular guideline".

Lib/test/test_argparse.py

                '-y',
-                '+xyz',
-    ]
+                '+xyz']


I think the original code is more idiomatic.

I agree with @SylvainDe

Lib/test/test_argparse.py

-    argument_group_signatures   = TestHelpBiggerOptionals.argument_group_signatures
+    parser_signature = TestHelpBiggerOptionals.parser_signature
+    argument_signatures = TestHelpBiggerOptionals.argument_signatures
+    argument_group_signatures = TestHelpBiggerOptionals\


This looked more beautiful before.

I think that this change is good. IMO pep8 analyze should fail if we maintain the old style. Why never fail?

I agree with @SylvainDe. Sometimes, fix pep8 problems will not be a good improve.
But core dev reviewers have the last word. :-)

Please review why the test are fail

Lib/test/test_argparse.py

        Sig('/baz', action='store_const', const=42),
    ]
-    failures = ['--bar', '-fbar', '-b B', 'B', '-f', '--bar B', '-baz', '-h', '--help', '+h', '::help', '/help']
+    failures = [


I think that is better use the first line to put values, and not start on new line. e.g.:

failures = [ '--bar', '-fbar', '-b B', 'B', '-f', '--bar B',
'-baz', '-h', '--help', '+h', '::help', '/help']

I agree with @SylvainDe

+        self.assertRaises(
+            ArgumentParserError, parser.parse_args, ['-y', 'Y', '-z', 'Z'])


Before is better.

Same of the comments above.

Thanks for the work, but we don't generally make bulk changes like this. It generates churn in the codebase, and has the risk of inadvertently changing the meaning of the tests, to little actual benefit. Instead we modernize tests when we touch them for other reasons and are in a position to confirm that the changes do not change the meaning of the tests. (I realize that for most of your changes the meaning is trivially preserved...but when you make a lot of changes you are almost certain to make some mistakes...thus the resistance to doing bulk updates.)

As you can see, none of the continuous integration tests passed, which reinforces the fact that this change isn't as trivial as it may appear. For example, from the Travis check:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_subparser_title_help (test.test_argparse.TestAddSubparsers)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/travis/build/python/cpython/Lib/test/test_argparse.py", line 2070, in test_subparser_title_help
    self.assertEqual(parser.format_usage(),
AssertionError: 'usage: PROG [-h] [--foo] bar\n' != 'usage: PROG [-h] [--foo] bar {1,2} ...\n'
- usage: PROG [-h] [--foo] bar
+ usage: PROG [-h] [--foo] bar {1,2} ...
?                             ++++++++++
