Aha! Then the code at the top is really broken:
# XXX This must be run manually -- somehow the I/O redirection of the
# regression test breaks the test.
from test_support import verbose, verify, TESTFN, TestSkipped
if not verbose:
raise TestSkipped, "test_socketserver can only be run manually"
There are two substantial problems. First, the comment about I/O
redirection is wrong. Second, if you do run regrtest.py -v, then the
test will be run anyway. This is how I first stumbled over the
problem. Another test was failing and I used -v to figure out why.
But regrtest.py also reported that test_socketserver failed and then
hung, because socketserver non-daemon threads were still running.
So what's the right way to fix this test? If the test can't be run as
part of regrtest and can't be imported, I wonder why it's in Lib/test
to begin with.
