scripts to invoke this if needed. Note that this isn't needed
on the trunk (the encoding tests download input files automatically
in 2.5).
patch from the trunk.
This stops test_socket_ssl from dying with:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
in urlparsre.py's urljoin() when the tests are run in this order:
test_???
test_importhooks
test_socket_ssl
"test_???" can be various things, but must be there. For
example, test_urllibnet "works" to provoke the failure.
Alas, nobody actually understands _why_ test_socket_ssl fails
then, or why this hack makes the problem go away.
Amazingly, the tests just happened to run in the right order on
the 2.4 branch on two Windows buildbot slaves today, causing them
both to fail their most recent test runs before this patch.

Try to find a host that responds slower from python.org so this test
does not fail on macteagle (G4 OSX.4 in buildbot)
"""
Since testConnectTimeout() frequently fails in the same way in 2.4
branch, and this patch seems to have fixed it on the trunk, it
should fix it on the 2.4 branch too.
on a box without a sound card.
Update test_winsound to check for a configured sound card (using a VBScript
helper written by Roger Upole and Mark Hammond) and adjust the expected
PlaySoundTest case results accordingly.
Try to be a bit more consistent on all platforms:
python .
python < .
both print a message, return non-zero and do not core dump.
This hopefully fixes the failure on Solaris.
