New submission from Michael Newman <michael.b.new...@gmail.com>:
Following the example in Section 20.23.5. ProtocolError Objects of:
http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/xmlrpc.client.html
It implies that an invalid URL will give raise an xmlrpc.client.ProtocolError.
Instead I'm getting a socket.gaierror instead. (I also tried using the google
address to show tat ProtocolError is working correctly if a real URL is used,
but doesn't offer XML-RPC services.) This similarly is happening for xmlrpclib
on Python 2.6.
Is this a bug or documentation mistake?
