When running the test-suite (using "make test") for a 32-bit debug build
of py3k on OS X 10.5/Core 2 Duo, I occasionally (perhaps 1 time in 10) get
the following output at the end of a (successful) test_run:

...
test_zipimport_support
test_zlib
301 tests OK.
22 tests skipped:
test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp
test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses test_dbm_gnu
test_epoll test_largefile test_nis test_normalization
test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_socketserver test_startfile
test_timeout test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg
test_winsound test_xmlrpc_net test_zipfile64
Those skips are all expected on darwin.
Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
TypeError: print_exception(): Exception expected for value, tuple found

I assume that there's a genuine exception here that we're not seeing;
i.e., that there's a shallow error (tuple instead of exception) that's
masking output of information from a deeper error.

Can this be reproduced with 3.1, 3.2 or even 2.7, or can it be closed?

[mdickinson]

I haven't seen this for a while; it can probably be closed. Thanks!
