seen when running the tests in the installed location:

the test expects:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError

but it gets:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/code.py", line 91, in runcode
    exec(code, self.locals)
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError

same for the other failing test case.

This is 3.5+ only as 2.7 does not have the module and 3.4 does not have the 2 test_xyz_tb functions that failed. This works OK on Win7.

What system did you use? (System dependence is odd, but there it is ;-)

The obvious fix is to reduce 'expected' to the common part, and at least for the second test, split into 2 assertIns.

this seems to be fixed in 3.6 (3.6.5) and 3.7 (beta4).
