Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: With a bit of searching, HOST == support.HOST == 'localhost'. Looking at the traceback, it is socket that fails, not telnetlib or its test. Hence the clearer title.
I am still curious what you propose: catch and skip or something else? For Windows, I consider a one-time event like this a routine random glitch to be ignored at least until it repeats ;-). ---------- title: transient test_telnetlib failure -> transient socket failure to connect to 'localhost' versions: -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11812> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
