You're likely to want to use the openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org
mailing list for development-related topics, since a lot more of the
developer community subscribes to and watches that.

I'm not an active developer on nova, but I tried to recreate the
issue you encountered out of personal curiosity. Unfortunately I
don't have a good explanation for it. At least on my workstation
(Debian/unstable) with tox 2.5.0 installed from PyPI and a clean
checkout of nova's master branch, rerunning `tox -e py27
tests.unit.api.openstack.compute.test_server_action` results in:

    ======
    Totals
    ======
    Ran: 66 tests in 41.0000 sec.
     - Passed: 66
     - Skipped: 0
     - Expected Fail: 0
     - Unexpected Success: 0
     - Failed: 0
    Sum of execute time for each test: 51.4564 sec.

Worth noting, `tox -e bindep` says I'm missing several system
packages (graphviz, libsqlite3-dev, mysql-client, mysql-server,
postgresql, postgresql-client) which I guess might explain why I
only ran 66 tests instead of 136, though the failures you quoted
didn't look like they were related to any tests which would have
needed those.
