some of the Debian buildbots happier, but several of the other buildbots are reporting a variety of "Address already in use" errors in the subthreads created by test_urllib2.

Test pass ok in my machine.

However, if in another terminal I make...

import socket s = socket.socket() s.bind(("127.0.0.1", 8080))

...the test fails exactly like in the buildbot.

Maybe the tests should be changed to use a not-so-standard port.

Or use port 0 to let the operating system pick a free port:

>>> import socket >>> s = socket.socket() >>> s.bind(("127.0.0.1", 0)) >>> s.getsockname() ('127.0.0.1', 42669)

I've changed test_urllib2_localnet to work this way - we'll see if it improves matters.

Yep, looks like that did the trick. Facundo, a similar change may help with the GSoC project you're mentoring (the new smtplib tests failed on at least one of the buildbots).

Cheers, Nick.
