OSError: out of pty devices

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2012-08-24 15:30:21 UTC]

Are you running this in a chroot environment?
Does /dev/ptmx exist?

[Comment 5 Mike Gilbert 2012-08-24 15:36:11 UTC]

(In reply to comment #4)

Alternatively, is /dev/pts correctly mounted as a devpts filesystem?

[Comment 6 Marco Ziebell 2012-08-24 15:48:39 UTC]

There is /dev/ptmx, but I ran mount --bind /dev /mnt/SEC/dev to bind, so it is not mounted correctly. I will rerun the tests.

Only this one remains

[Comment 8 Marien Zwart (RETIRED) 2012-08-28 12:15:53 UTC]

test_urllib2_localnet should not connect to the internet, but it looks like it assumes "localhost" resolves and "sadflkjsasf.i.nvali.d." does not resolve. Can you run something like host "sadflkjsasf.i.nvali.d."? Most likely there's some DNS server in your setup redirecting everything to some search page.

(There's a lengthy comment in there explaining the choice of that name: trailing dot to stop the resolver from appending your local domain, single-char domain because they've determined experimentally .invalid sometimes resolves while these don't).

Not sure if it's worth it to disable this test. I really want to say a setup with a DNS server this broken is, well, broken.

[Comment 9 Marco Ziebell 2012-08-30 14:04:01 UTC]

Ok, I know what happend.
The ISP Im connected to resolvs any given URL.
I receive a IP-Adress for every adress but if it does not exists I'm not able to connect it!
I've changed my DNS-Server to 8.8.8.8 - Gooogle-DNS - and the test pass!
So it is a problem of my ISP

Great! Thanks for the report.
