So, if you've done an install & can't import the C modules, that
tells me this isn't a simply problem in our test harness (run_tests.py
does some magic with the Python path to try to test using the just
built files rather than any installed files).

This is a deeper problem with building/installing under Python 3.4
on your setup. I have for the moment run out of ideas :(

(Other than trying Python 3.3 which may behave differently - and
will be useful anyway for checking the other test failures and if they
are in part due to the new Python version).

Thanks,

Peter
