I found one problem in test_docxmlrpc.py, a missing "import socket" at 
the top (for the socket.timeout exception handler).
Please add that, and see what happens.

But there seems to be a problem with the error handing in your build.  
probably, sys.stderr is messed up somehow.  You could try putting a 
breakpoint in line 444 of threadmodule.c and get to the bottom of it.

But to short circuit that,  
try adding an "import sys" and then in the finally clause (around line 
54) add "sys.stderr = sys.__stderr__" and see if you get better error 
output.
