While working on tests at the sprint I was reminded that there are various tests in the Python standard library that depend on resources in specific resources in specific locations at python.org. We will need a plan for finding and dealing with these before (or as?) the new web site is turned up.

Example:

request = urllib.request.Request("http://www.python.org/~jeremy/")

And then there are things like:

h = client.HTTPSConnection('svn.python.org', 443, context=context)

Tests which are accessible over HTTP can still remain the same, for others, I shall look for alternatives. But yeah, these tests (or potential test failures) should not be be a blocker for the Infrastructure team.
