I came across test-case gdb.python/remove-readline-finder.exp.
It checks that a "python import readline" command fails.
Extend the test-case with also checking that the readline module is not
present in the sys.modules dict.
While we're at it, modernize a regexp using multi_line.
Tested on x86_64-linux (using make-check-all.sh) and aarch64-linux.
+gdb_test_no_output "py import sys"
+
+# Check that readline is not imported.
+with_test_prefix initial {
+ gdb_test "py print (sys.modules.get('readline'))" \
+ "None"
+}
+
+# Try to import readline, and check that it fails.
+set re_msg "readline module disabled under GDB"
gdb_test "py import readline" \
gdb_test "py import readline" \
- "Python Exception <class 'ImportError'>: readline module disabled under GDB\r\n.*"
+ [multi_line \
+ "Python Exception <class 'ImportError'>: $re_msg" \
+ "Error occurred in Python: $re_msg"]
+
+# Check that readline is still not imported.
+gdb_test "py print (sys.modules.get('readline'))" \
+ "None"
