R. David Murray added the comment: You are right, there was a further typo in the 3.4 URL that I missed. Yes, requires_resource('network') is what I was referring to (though using transient_internet is also a very good idea :). I also changed the urllib call to only do a HEAD request. No need to rename the LICENSE file, I just pulled the info out of the data structure. It's a white box test, but then so is parsing the "See" line at all, so I think it is acceptable. (I wonder if it would be worthwhile to have transient_internet call requires_resource('network')?) ---------- status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18206> _______________________________________
