Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: For network tests like this where it is useful to test against external servers, could we just pick few known external servers that are unlikely to every go away?
imap.gmail.com:993 for instance? (i don't know enough about imap to know if it supports what we need to test, I'll leave that up to you to determine :) Picking another host or two from other big ISPs would also be wise in order to test multiple server implementations. Once that is done, the tests that connect to external servers should be put in their own file marked as requiring the network resource. Similar to how its done in Lib/test/test_urllib2net.py. ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4471> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
