I ran across this test when looking at especially slow files in the test suite: it turns out that not only is this service currently down, but the snakebite.net domain still exists, and as a result the test can end up waiting 20-30s before learning that the hosts can't be found and the test gets skipped. I agree with Benjamin's and Victor's comments -- the best solution would be to recreate the test, ideally as something that anyone (anyone with Docker installed, perhaps?) can just run locally. For now I've just sent GH-15349 as a one-line fix to skip the test, with a remark pointing at this issue. It's already getting skipped 100% of the time thanks to the handy `support.transient_internet` mechanism -- this just makes the skip (a) explicit in the source code, and (b) a lot faster. :-) ---------- nosy: +Greg Price _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35518> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
