I think you're having troubles with python, tox is just the entry point.

> for "tox -e unit -- -k import_logic"  10 tests fail with errors like:

You can see this setup and running in all the gitub action checks, so it's got to be something on your system. The point of tox is to provide isolated virtual environments within which to run the tests, which means the package deps are managed for you. My guess would be that something in python 3.11 has broken mox3. I'll work on removing mox3 usage from the unit tests (for this and other reasons) but in the meantime, using <= 3.10 would be your option.
