You didn't say which operating system you're using, but if you're running
some flavor of Windows then test_socket will fail unless you have an active
internet connection open at the time you run it.  That's just the way it
works on Windows.

Sounds about right, again assuming you're running some flavor of Windows.
For example,

test test_fork1 skipped --  os.fork not defined -- skipping test_fork1

is normal on Windows.  Windows doesn't support os.fork, so it simply can't
run the test there.  Anything that says "test_xxx skipped" at the end is
nothing to worry about.  Things to worry about say something like "test_xxx
failed" instead.
