There are two tests with the same name in a same test class in [Lib/test/test_email/test__header_value_parser.py](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/test/test_email/test__header_value_parser.py): test_get_unstructured_invalid_ew

1. cpython/Lib/test/test_email/test__header_value_parser.py

   Line 304 in 8e11237

   def test_get_unstructured_invalid_ew(self):

2. cpython/Lib/test/test_email/test__header_value_parser.py

   Line 398 in 8e11237

   def test_get_unstructured_invalid_ew(self):

So, because of this bad naming - the first test is always shadowed by the second one and is silently skipped. With my patch: 1660 tests, without: 1659 tests.

PR to rename the second test is on its way.

Also fund a duplicate TestHelpers class in test_enum.

A warning for duplicate method is a false positive, because the two methods are used on different python versions. But the first method uses self.Grades.B wrongly (should be Grades.B) so it will break when python 3.12 is started!

Eric, should I patch this as well in this issue?
Or should I open a new one? Would be happy to fix it :)

[merwok]

Sometimes people fix small things in multiple modules, sometimes they create separate tickets to have one patch per module with reviews from different maintainers and so on. For this case, I check pyflakes and found a handful of true positives, so I would retitle the ticket to be about duplicate methods in tests.

Thanks! I will also attach all flake8's output if someone is going to need it:
