I compiled Python 2.7.12 from source and ran the tests unsuccessful.

Compiling /usr/lib/python2.7/test/test_grammar.py ...
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/test/test_grammar.py", line 80
    self.assertEqual(1 if 1else 0, 1)
                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid token

It looks like a space (" ") is missing before the else. The same bug can be found in the next line 81.

Thanks for the report! How did you run the test? I think there is something wrong with your installation (or you probably ran the test with the system Python.)

    $ ./python -m test.regrtest test_grammar
    [1/1] test_grammar
    1 test OK.
    [48645 refs]

    $ hg summary

     make 'where' Py_ssize_t

The absence of a space is intentional. See #21642.  Fix applied 2014-06-07.  Hence Berker's guesses.

    def test_float_exponent_tokenization(self):
        # See issue 21642.
        self.assertEqual(1 if 1else 0, 1)
        self.assertEqual(1 if 0else 0, 0)
        self.assertRaises(SyntaxError, eval, "0 if 1Else 0")

On Windows, test passes for 2.7.12 both installed and locally compiled. 

This said, it is possible that there is a compilation problem on some system, especially one that does not match a buildbot.  We can re-open if this is the case.
