​ I assume this is testing some server listening on localhost. Is this a new thing, either with the Python test suite or with Mac OS X? (I'd normally be hidden behind a NAT firewall, but at the moment I am on a miserable public connection in a Peet's Coffee, so it takes on slightly more importance...) It's not new.

Indeed, I've run into this as well.

I've also seen the Crash Reporter pop up many times, but as far as I could tell, in all cases the test suite output told me it was expected. Perhaps tests which listen for network connections should also mention that, at least on Macs?

Wouldn't hurt. Just requires tracking down which test(s) triggers it (might be more than one and I don't know if answering that popup applies for the rest of the test execution or once per test if you use -j).

If anyone starts working on this, let me know if I can help, e.g. trying things on my own Mac.
