How to repeat:
Run mysql-test-run.pl  --parallel=8 --force --max-test-fail=0 --retry=1 --retry-failure=1 --experimental=./collections/default.experimental --mysqld=--binlog-format=mixed --vardir=R:/ade/var1

Suggested fix:
* Don't depend on python (feature request)
* Make sure the test runs robustly on windows
* Suggest a sanctioned python version and provide a way to install it without breaking apps that have it bundled (e.g. git).
