What Python version do you use?

<archive_directory_path>/test   is für Python 2 and
<archive_directory_path>/test3  is for Python 3

This looks like trying the Python 3 tests with Python 2

Could you try again with the test directory matching the python version?

The shellscript below tests with all supported Python versions.
