The test failures with numpy 1.7.x were reported at 
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/2870>. They are due to the 
difference in printing numpy arrays containing str objects:

# numpy 1.6.2:
>>> print(np.array(["a"], object))
[a]

# numpy 1.7.0rc1:
>>> print(np.array(["a"], object))
['a']

According to numpy developers "reprs are not required to be the same 
across numpy versions".
