New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:
test_timeout uses www.python.org as a Guinea pig for its socket tests.
Unfortunately sometimes www.python.org is down, which gives the
following kind of failures (seen on a buildbot recently):
test test_timeout failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\buildslave\3.x.moore-windows\build\lib\test\test_timeout.py",
line 133, in testRecvTimeout
self.sock.connect(self.addr_remote)
socket.error: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
test_timeout should catch the error and simply skip the test with an
appropriate message.
There's a similar problem with test_smtpnet which uses gmail as its
remote SMTP-SSL provider.
