Sorry, no idea why you are getting this.

Btw, I think even the M2Crypto m2urllib is unsafe, you'd be better of
using some of the other convenience libs libs httpslib or something.

Currently you need to install M2Crypto before you can run the tests.
Next version of M2Crypto will have an option to run tests without
installing. I'd assume if copied the sources to your own site-packages
dir and set the PYTHONPATH environment variable this would have worked.
Notice that you'd need to copy the *built* M2Crypto dir, not the source
M2Crypto dir which does not include the .so file.
