I am OK with the patch as is, and verified with Python 2.3, 2.6,
2.7 and 3.4 that "Welcome to Python" is part of the output of
the help() function. But since the purpose of the test is purely
to verify that the help() function does not hang, just verifying
that we have the prompt should achieve that goal, so I don't see
a need to extend the the expected output to match the "Welcome [...]"
message as well. I would personally just drop the "online" from
the expected output. Just my 2 cents, either way is fine.

Thank you!
