New submission from Larry Hastings:

Lib/tests/test_robotparser.py uses the following url:
    http://mueblesmoraleda.com/robots.txt
That file now serves a 404.

This should be disabled for 3.4, and the test rewritten for 3.5.  If we get a 
patch quickly I would probably cherry-pick it for 3.4 final.

Aside: it is REALLY IRRITATING that we have tests in the standard library that 
hit external web sites.  The standard library regression test suite should 
*not* rely on network access.  Can the rewritten test please spin up a local 
web server (http.server) and serve a robotx.txt that way?
