User ids on android are the ids of the applications and they are used to enforce the applications access rights. See the 'User IDs and File Access' section at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html.

Most integers are existing user ids on android. This may explain why getpwall() is missing.
Patch attached.

The pwd module is broken when a member of the 'passwd’ data structure is NULL (bpo-32033).
Remove _getpwall() and therefore skip test_pwd on Android until bpo-32033 is fixed.
