Thanks.  Then I have no idea why it fails.  It's difficult for me to
further investigate as I don't have Mac environment.

I don't think it is a good idea.  `python-shell-interpreter' can be a
variety of things.  It may be IPython, PyPy, or even Poetry.
`python-tests-shell-interpreter' exists to override
`python-shell-interpreter'.

I think we are still supporting Python 2 on Mac.  It is just that
there seems to be problems with some features.

ERTs exist to find bugs.  In that sense, I think the ERTs have worked
well.  We probably have found the bug with Python 2 on Mac, unless
there is a bug on the ERTs.  So the natural and best course is to fix
that bug.  Changing the order of the interpreters to find or skipping
some ERTs does not solve the problem.  However, it seems that only a
limited number of people can pursue the problem on Mac, and fewer
people will have trouble with Python 2 issues.  So for now, I think it
is better to skip these ERTs for Python 2 on Mac only.

The problem is that there is no convenient way to skip some ERTs based
on the interpreter's version.  I will think about it, but it will be
over the weekend at the earliest.
