I have good news: * I pushed fixes for test_imaplib and test_nntplib in 3.5, 3.6 and master * I contacted the administrator of the NNTP server used by test_nntplib. I noticed a failure this morning (the server was unable to spawn new processes). He fixed the issue, the server should be back. I was aware that Python was using his server and doesn't seem to be annoyed by that. He wrote RFC 6048, RFC 8143, and co-authored the RFC 8054! Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) Additions to LIST Command https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6048 Using Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8143 Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) Extension for Compression https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8054 He asked me if Python is going to support the last extension, Compression. I don't know nntplib, so I have to take a look.
