Did I miss an email on python-dev or > python-committers about this? Benjamin already gave the link to the related issue. The idea is to make the networking tests depend on as few external hosts as possible, so that we can reduce spurious skips or failures when one of them is not reachable or changes its configuration. The pythontest.net domain was chosen to be able to test things like cookies or certificates without a potential of compromising python.org related services. There is a repository at hg.python.org/pythontestdotnet which can be used by developers; server configuration is maintained together with other Python services on https://github.com/python/psf-salt.

Thanks for the info! Could we capture that somewhere a bit more permanent?

The developer guide would probably be a good place, although it may involve creating a new subsection.

Cheers, Nick.

cheers, Georg
