New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: If an URL doesn't answer, the whole test hung. Many buildbots turned red because an URL (maybe ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/README) didn't answer during few minutes (it works again).
We should add a timeout, eg. 5 minutes. I don't know what to do on timeout: ignore the test? skip the test? Ignore should be fine. ---------- components: Library (Lib), Tests messages: 103590 nosy: haypo severity: normal status: open title: Set a timeout in test_urllib2net versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8460> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
