Oh good idea. This context manager sets also a timeout to 30 seconds which can help to skip the test only platforms with flacky internet connections. By the way, I also saw the test failing randomly on the Windows 8.1 buildbot. I hope that support.transient_internet() will also skip the tes on this case. I close the issue since the initial issue is fixed. Thanks Martin for the hint ;) ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25138> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
