Hi, in the file Lib/test/test_mimetools.py on line 30 the call to mimetools.choose_boundary() fails if the machine that the tests are running on does not have a hostname that maps to an IP address.
I would have thought that the test should be 'skipped' rather than fail? I don't know if this has been discussed before but any feedback would be appreciated. Would any body be interested in a patch to make the test skip if hostname does not have an designated IP? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
