Well, I already did that in the past. Lib/test/test_ftplib.py: @skipUnless(False, "FIXME: bpo-32706") => skipped since 2018-01-29 Lib/test/test_nntplib.py: @unittest.skipIf(True, "FIXME: see bpo-32128") => skipped since 2017-11-25. Oh, I even closed https://bugs.python.org/issue32128. Well, I'm kind of tired of waiting for fixes in nntplib, so I decided to immediately close the issue. I'm quite sure that nobody will fix it "soon" :-) (hint: there FIXME is still there) I'm not sure about documenting the module as "unmaintained". Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
