R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: All of my Gentoo systems except one have localhost on the ::1 line. The one that doesn't hasn't been updated in several years. That one has the same entry for ::1 as your Ubuntu.
The FreeBSD 6.3 box I have access to has localhost on the ::1 line. It has long been true that there are test failures if the testing system cannot resolve its own hostname, which often requires "fixing" /etc/hosts on linux systems. You could call this bug a local system configuration error, too, but whether or not that is politic depends on whether or not there are in fact standard distributions that don't have localhost on the ::1 line. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ 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
