nests test.test_support.TransientResource context managers that capture
exceptions raised when the Internet connection is flaky.
Initially using in test_socket_ssl but should probably be expanded to cover any
test that should not raise the captured exceptions if the Internet connection
works.
surround calls to resources that may or may not be available. Specifying the
expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.
This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches. It would probably
be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).
constructor, meaning it is treated as *args, not as a single argument. This
means using the 'message' attribute won't work (until Py3K comes around),
and so one must grab from 'arg' to get the error number.
soon after because the gmail address it connects to started timing
out on all the buildbot slaves. Rewrote the test to produce a
warning message (instead of failing) when the address times out.
Also removed the special case for Windows -- this test started to
work on Windows as soon as bug 1462352 was fixed.
before the listener was ready (on gentoo x86 buildslave). This
caused the listener to not exit normally since nobody connected to it
(waited in accept()). The exception was raised in the other thread
and the test failed.
This fix doesn't completely eliminate the race, but should make it
near impossible to trigger. Hopefully it's good enough.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
