script_tests.py has the two test classes TestScriptHelp and TestScriptSimulate derived from TestScriptMeta. Each of it has their own _expected_failures and _allowed_failures attributes but when running the tests, both test classes uses the attribute of TestScriptSimulate.
To demonstrate it I added the class name to _allowed_failures list and always get TestScriptSimulate and modified the metaclass' __new__ method as follows (the first statements):
arguments = dct['_arguments']
print('_expected_failures:', dct['_expected_failures'])
print('_allowed_failures:', dct['_allowed_failures'])
for script_name in script_list:The result was:
