[New-bugs-announce] [issue18792] test_ftplib timeouts

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

Some ftplib tests sometimes time out. Seem they seem to try to connect to "localhost" (rather than "127.0.0.1"), I was wondering if this could be a DNS issue and if we should resolve "localhost" in advance like Charles-François did for some other tests (or simply hardcode "127.0.0.1", actually).

(example:

======================================================================
