New submission from Guandalino <guandal...@gmail.com>:
urllib2 tests fail when internet connection is not available.
$ cd ~/sandbox/2.7/lib/python2.7/test
$ python test_urllib2.py
other output, [cut]
======================================================================

FAILED (errors=1)
The issue verifies using ubuntu 8.04 LTS having this /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain speedy
::1 localhost speedy ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Note that when connected to internet all the tests pass.
Further details can be found in a thread I started
on comp.lang.python. http://bit.ly/9x9Umu.
I can't guarantee a quick answer but let me know if other info are required,
I'll be glad to provide them asap. Thank you.
