[New-bugs-announce] [issue6533] Make test_xmlrpc_net functional in the absence of time.xmlrpc.com

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

It seems like time.xmlrpc.com is gone (again?).  That service was
provided by userland.com, who have an xmlrpc server that they mention in
their documentation examples (see for example
http://frontier.userland.com/changes/kernel71) which argues that they
will probably keep the service alive.

The attached patch adds a second test to test_xmlrpc_net to access the
example service directly at userland, and changes both tests to raise
unittest.SkipTest if the service is not accessible.
