[issue40735] test_nntplib depends on unreliable external servers

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

It tomorrow a test_nntplib test fails too often, I suggest to simply skip it, 
since PEP 594 is accepted. Especially tests using external real NNTP servers.

nntplib is deprecated as per PEP 594, so there won't be further enhancements to 
it.

[issue40735] test_nntplib depends on unreliable external servers

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

IMO for now it's better to *always* skip test_nnptlib tests which rely on 
external servers and close related issues.

* https://bugs.python.org/issue19613 (test_article_head_body)
* https://bugs.python.org/issue19756 (test_capabilities)

These issues are open for 9 years. NNTP protocol is getting less and less 
popular, I don't expect that anyone will come in 2022 and suddenly propose a 
fix.

[issue40735] test_nntplib depends on unreliable external servers

Irit Katriel  added the comment:

Following discussion with Zach and Victor: This is probably an issue with the 
external servers these tests used. The fix would be to rewrite the tests so 
that they don't rely on external infrastructure.
