Hi,

Should I assume you're subscribed to the mailinglist? If so, please tell
me and I can remove you from the CC.

Humm, seems python3 on armhf is indeed
3.4(https://packages.debian.org/jessie/armhf/python3/download), maybe
we've run into a bug. What does which `python` says?

Good job so far!

I think it would be good to see if some of these require any changes on
Tails' side and we should fill individual bugs accordingly for it to
track progress. Boring but important work! :)

Not quite at the moment, however, you should be able to run the test
suite yourself. See the following link and subpages:

I could provide you with a Debian VM if you want!

Best,
