I saw that issue, or one like it. I was very tempted to not report but 
the README says if there are any test failures, there is a problem. (I 
suppose it could mean there is a problem with my ISP, not python.) The 
dilemma is that we want to be able to count on a clean pass of all tests 
even in the face of the misbehaving ISP (I believe someone in the 
discussion said there may be more of such in the future).
At the very least, if we are accepting a failure in the test suite as 
"ok", the README should say something to that effect.
