Description
The test exercises support.change_cwd which basically does:
def change_cwd(path):
saved_dir = os.getcwd()
os.chdir(path)
try:
yield os.getcwd()
finally:
os.chdir(saved_dir)
and then checks that the directory is what's expected. However this is failing with an assertion error:
AssertionError: '/private/var/folders/some_folder' != '/var/folders/some_folder'

Research direction
Start with the test_support.test_change_cwd test and the support.change_cwd implementation shown in the issue, then reproduce the assertion on macOS. Compare the expected and returned paths after changing directories; done means the test correctly handles the observed macOS path while still verifying the changed working directory.
