Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:
FWIW there's also support.open_urlresource that can be used to download test
data. open_urlresouce calls requires('urlfetch') and skips the test when the
resource is not enabled. For instance, test_normalization uses it:
try:
testdata = support.open_urlresource(TESTDATAURL, encoding="utf-8",
check=check_version)
except (IOError, HTTPException):
self.skipTest("Could not retrieve " + TESTDATAURL)
self.addCleanup(testdata.close)
This also saves the file on the disk and reuses it when the test is run again,
so the connection is actually used once and only if available.
