Thanks. I still think that we should use a more stable
resource for this other than svn.python.org, e.g. the
https://www.pythontest.net/ setup which was created specifically
for stdlib tests and which can more easily be adapted to
fit the needs of the tests than a public resource which is meant
for other purposes.

The local server idea may also work, but would have to run on
a non-privileged port.
