It looks like another change to the new python.org website is breaking another test:

The above changes temporarily fix the problem as long as the build include ssl support. We should probably change all of the tests to use some other domain that does not redirect to https: www.example.com has been suggested.

Issue #20939: merge from 3.3
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/7f4fba171a40 

Here are patches to change network use of www.python.org to www.example.com so that the tests should pass even if the interpreter is built without SSL support. It turns out that there are references to www.python.org in unexpected places (like test_site) so, while I ran all tests and tested the changes both with and without SSL availability, it wouldn't surprise me if I missed a few spots. Also, as requested by Benjamin, I produced patches for and tested on 3.1 and 3.2. I'm +0 on applying the changes there as there are other, unrelated test failures with those releases on some platforms, but with the patches no one can blame the new python.org website for them.

The suggested patch(s) looks good to me.

I've pushed the changes to 2.7, 3.4, and default. That has exposed a new intermittent failure of test_fileno in test.test_urllibnet (see Issue21069). I'll leave this issue open until that is resolved. And I'll leave it up to the respective release managers to decide whether they want to backport to their security-fix-only branches.

Since the original problems reported here have been fixed in current branches, I'm closing this issue.
