[issue8963] test_urllibnet failure

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Ok, so what it boils down to is the following behaviour:

>>> import locale, socket
>>> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>> locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)
(None, None)
>>> sock.connect(("invalidhost", 80))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Nom ou service inconnu
>>> locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)
('fr_FR', 'UTF8')
