From 44f2c096804e8e3adc09400a59ef9c9ae843f339 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miss Islington (bot)" <31488909+miss-islington@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 21:08:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-35518: Skip test that relies on a deceased network service. (GH-15349) If this service had thoroughly vanished, we could just ignore the test until someone gets around to either recreating such a service or redesigning the test to somehow work locally. The `support.transient_internet` mechanism catches the failure to resolve the domain name, and skips the test. But in fact the domain snakebite.net does still exist, as do its nameservers -- and they can be quite slow to reply. As a result this test can easily take 20-30s before it gets auto-skipped. So, skip the test explicitly up front.
