Test suite failing with Pillow 7.2.0

[cript0nauta]

If I run piexif tests with Pillow 7.2.0, they fail:

With Pillow 7.1.2, it works ok. I did some bisecting and noted that this Pillow commit is responsible for breaking piexif tests: python-pillow/Pillow@ccac9e1.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug on Pillow, in piexif or in the tests.

I noted this bug because piexif fails to build with the Nix package manager because their tests fail.
