I consider that the bug is in my /etc/hosts configuration, not in Python. So I
close the issue as invalid.

It has long been true that there are test failures
if the testing system cannot resolve its own hostname,
...
I'm not sure that localhost must be resolved to ::1. I'm only sure for IPv4:
localhost be must resolved to 127.0.0.1
New submission from STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com:
TestIPv6Environment testcase of test_ftplib uses support.HOST as hostname, and
HOST=localhost. Usually, localhost is the name of 127.0.0.1, but not always
::1. On Linux, the usual names for ::1 are ip6-localhost or ip6-loopback.
STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment:
Attached patch uses IPV6_HOST='::1'.

Mac OS X 10.6.3 has ::1 localhost.
My Ubuntu 9.10 has ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback but I don't rember if I
edited this line or not. I don't think so.

All of my Gentoo systems except one have localhost on the ::1 line. The one
that doesn't hasn't been updated in several years. That one has the same entry
for ::1 as your Ubuntu.
The FreeBSD 6.3 box I have access to has localhost on
