New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: TestIPv6Environment testcase of test_ftplib uses support.HOST as hostname, and HOST=localhost. Usually, localhost is the name of 127.0.0.1, but not always ::1. On Linux, the usual names for ::1 are ip6-localhost or ip6-loopback. My internet server provider DNS resolver does not always resolv "localhost" as ::1, sometimes it answer 3(NXDOMAIN). Anyway, the name should be resolved by the local DNS resolver, not depend on an external (ISP) DNS server.
The simplest solution is to use "::1" instead of localhost ;-) ---------- components: Tests messages: 104778 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test/support: don't use localhost as IPv6 host name versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8598> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
