The testConnectTimeout in test_timeout is skipped since network resources it uses are not available.

$ ./python -m test -vuall test_timeout
...
testConnectTimeout (test.test_timeout.TCPTimeoutTestCase) ... skipped "Resource 'blackhole.snakebite.net' is not available"

$ host blackhole.snakebite.net
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ host whitehole.snakebite.net
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ host snakebite.net
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Is it temporary or permanent issue?

Hmmmm, I'll investigate when I get home tomorrow.

Trent, any word on this?

[tpn]

Unfortunately the host backing blackhole.snakebite.net and whitehole.snakebite.net is no longer available. I still think the underlying test is valuable, though -- are there any PSF boxes/containers that could fulfill this role?

(I used pf on FreeBSD to set up the two firewall rules: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/test_timeout.py#L183. If a new box were to be sourced I presume it would be a Linux instance, so the rules would need to be ported to whatever the Linux firewall on the box is.)

There is a host dedicated to providing test infrastructure. I forget the name. Benjamin has done things with it in the past.

Oh, I found the same bug: bpo-35518.
