Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Matt Fleming (splitscreen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib2 bails if the localhost doens't have a fqdn hostname Initial Comment: When running the test suite I ran into a similar problem to bug #1257988. in the FileHandler class's get_names() method should be wrapped in a try, except block because it shouldn't assume that the localhost has a fqdn hostname. Attached is a minimal diff against trunk r43542.

I don't know if a more sophisticated patch is possible, but if nobody comes up with one, I think this should be applied (as happened with #1257988). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1462706&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
