pdb is debugging 101: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html

Specifically, add this line to the code at the point where you want to start
inspecting the state of the program:

    import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Now run the test suite and when you hit the breakpoint, you can print values,
inspect object, step through calls, etc.  It may or may not help you solve the
problem, but you'll get a much better sense of what's actually going on, and
it should at least improve the quality of an upstream bug report.

Cheers,
