> now I'm confused (my usual state...) I am in fact running the identical driver on both branches and it is running as part of chirpw and chirpc. I fixed the syntax errors in run_tests on the py3 branch and stripped almost all drivers out of the drivers directory.

Yeah, something must be confused. There shouldn't be syntax errors in run_tests.py on the py3 branch:
