Hi Didier,

It looks to me like there may be code compiled from the older,
non-modern, source in build/lib.linux-i686-2.3.  Can you try
to delete the python/build directory and try again?  I am unable
to confirm your problem on my machine, all 228 tests pass.

I'm on #mapserver on irc.freenode.net all day today if you would
like quicker feedback on solving this problem.

cheers,
Sean
