[issue11812] transient socket failure to connect to 'localhost'

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Does the failure occur on other buildbots? If not, it's maybe something specific to this Windows Seven: a local firewall or something like that?

Can we use start 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost"? I don't know if it would change anything.

Note: the TCP server of test_telnetlib doesn't use SO_REUSEADDR whereas it starts/stops very quickly. We may be something like:

serv.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
