I believe your problem is related to what Anthony Baxter and Guido van Rossum where discussing back in 2004 on the python-dev mailing list : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-November/040501.html To put things short the test suite might fail on any test using socket.gethostname() on a machine where /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are not matching. If that is the case for your machine, the problem is coming from the test suite, not your python build. regards, Avell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
