You probably should. It's better to have it there when a dev takes the time to look at it, so the only reply isn't "post emerge --info"

Does this still fail for people on 2.6.6? Seems to pass here.
The failure is due to the host name not being set. Since the host name does not resolve to an address the error message is (correctly) produced which is not expected by the test case. For a static IP just edit /etc/hosts. If your IP isn't static then fixing this depends on your network configuration. (You can fudge it temporarily by setting it in /etc/hosts.)
Nice analysis, thanks. In that case, I think we should report this upstream, so they can modify the test to skip instead of fail in this case.
(In reply to comment #9) > I think we should report this upstream, so > they can modify the test to skip instead of fail in this case. This failure does indicate a problem but not a problem in the package. I'm not sure if it should be skipped and might not request that change upstream. However, it should be documented upstream as a configuration problem and merits at least a documentation request.
Well, the test case is supposed to test Python; here it fails not because Python fails but because the environment is wrong. It seems to me that Python shouldn't fail the test in this case, but just skip it (and a note will be made of the skipping).
2.6.4 long dropped,
