Should we disable documentation test on nntplib? It's surprising that test_nntplib test on the other Travis CI jobs.

I 've checked a few servers list to use.
But I don't know that they are proper to use.

But for now on, IMHO skip is better choice.

FYI, gmane.io is down for a server move today. It should be back in service by 2100 GMT.

I propose to do nothing and wait. Travis CI is not currently preventing to merge a PR.

I should have checked first. The move was completed ahead of schedule and it's now back in service. The tests should no loner fail.

It seems like the GMANE server has been fixed.

Reopening as this is happening again -- twice for me: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/20329/checks?check_run_id=701405252#step:7:117

gmane was down for maybe a day early this week. We should expect this to continue happening on and off, as it has for years (I use it daily). I suggest that we run the test when we can and skip (or connect elsewhere) when we cannot.

try:
s = NNTP('news.gmane.io')
except ConnectionRefusedError as e:
self.skipTest(f'Gmane down: {e}')

Note the nntplib module is deprecated in 3.11 and set for removal in 3.13.

See PEP 594 – Removing dead batteries from the standard library and #91217.

Additionally, Travis is no longer used for CPython's CI.

Closed as Travis is no longer used.
