I disagree.  I maintain pyclbr.py (having mostly rewritten its main
loop last August and another major update more recently) and usually a
failure is now a symptom of a bug in pyclbr.

That was true before my most recent rewrite.  After it, I was able to
add back a bunch of tests that were commented out, and vastly reduce
the number of exceptions for other tests.  It's still not perfect, but
a lot more so.

pyclbr is used by IDLE's class and path browser commands, so it can't
be deprecated.

I'll look into the most recent random failure.
