Thanks for reaching out! This is about test failures, not problems with installation process, correct? I took a look at the failures:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_add_file_after_2107 (test.test_zipfile.StoredTestsWithSourceFile)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/gpfs/scratch/sjfleck/modulefiles/Python-3.8.2/Lib/test/test_zipfile.py", line 606, in test_add_file_after_2107
    os.utime(TESTFN, (ts, ts))
OSError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks like the test excepts an OverflowError but not an OSError, so I think it should do both.


======================================================================
ERROR: test_setrusage_refcount (test.test_resource.ResourceTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/gpfs/scratch/sjfleck/modulefiles/Python-3.8.2/Lib/test/test_resource.py", line 131, in test_setrusage_refcount
    resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_CPU, BadSequence())
ValueError: not allowed to raise maximum limit

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is a bug in the test: a non-root process increasing its hard resource maximum should raise. So I think this maybe BadSequence()[i] should return limits[i].



======================================================================

AssertionError: ZeroDivisionError not raised

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks related to https://bugs.python.org/issue18643 .
Perhaps SOCK_MAX_SIZE needs to be increased for this test, or be made system-dependent?



======================================================================
