Not here.  

I'm running debian unstable (jessie)
I've already got libpython3.4-testsuite installed, and I cannot run
the tests.

lac at smartwheels:~$ lsb_release -a

Python 3.4.3+

I have the lastest version of libpython3.4-testsuite installed.
lac at smartwheels:~$ apt-cache policy libpython3.4-testsuite
libpython3.4-testsuite:
  Installed: 3.4.3-8
  Candidate: 3.4.3-8
  Version table:

This is a brand new terminal window, i.e. I am not sitting in a virtualenv
that I have completely forgotten about.

But I still get:
lac at smartwheels:~$ python3 -m test -ugui test_tk test_ttk_guionly test_idle
/usr/bin/python3: Error while finding spec for 'test.__main__' (<class 'ImportError'>: bad magic number in 'test': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'); 'test' is a package and cannot be directly executed

Now I am very puzzled.  What else could I be missing to cause this?
