[New-bugs-announce] [issue1659] Tests needing network flag?

[Skip Montanaro]

New submission from Skip Montanaro:

While riding to work today I ran the test suite on trunk.  The following
tests failed due to lack of network connectivity:

    test_socket
    test_socket_ssl
    test_ssl
    test_urllib2

These tests should probably either require -u network or should themselves
check to see if the network is available and skip those tests requiring
network connectivity.  In fact, regrtest.py's comments list test_socket_ssl
as requiring the network resource.  That seems to have regressed since 2.5

Simple patch attached.

Skip
