AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SOCKRDM'

It appears your system either does not support SOCK_RDM, or somehow Python failed to pickup the definition of SOCK_RDM. An expert for your system would have to determine which one it is. He would then need to investigate whether not providing this constant is a deliberate omission, a known bug, or an unknown bug.

If it is a known or unknown bug, the test deserves to fail - Python tests often fail because of bugs in the system.

If this is a deliberate omission, somebody should give us the rationale for this omission, so we can reconsider not to treat SOCK_RDM as a crucial constant.

AssertionError: child process reports failure

You will have to find out in more detail why this happens. Find out what sys.executable, tester, v, and d are, then find out whether the process is invoked correctly.

If it is not invoked, find out why.

If it is invoked, find out whether it returns 1, or some other value. If it returns some other value, find out which value and why. If it returns 1, find out which of the two sys.exits in tf_inherit_check.py is taken. And so on.
