How do I resolve this?
Run the failed test in verbose mode: ./python -m test -v test_re Get the traceback, search on the bug tracker whether this bug already was reported (I suppose you have the en_IN locale and this is issue29571 [1]), and if nothing is found open a new ticket. Now read the code and try to find the cause of the bug and write a patch that fixes it. If this is issue29571, the cause is known, and several solutions was proposed, but the problem is deeper.
