FAILED (errors=2, skipped=122)
test test_socket failed

Same failures seen with 3.4.3 and 3.5.0b4 installers on 10.11 (El Capitan) Developer Previews 2 and 4.  Passes on 10.10.x and earlier recent OS X systems.  There have been other problems in this area on OS X in the past (see Issue12958).  Probably need to open a RADAR.
