The test which failed was HandlerTests.test_file, and I'm using python 2.7.1. socket.gethostbyname('localhost') returns "127.0.0.1" which is ok, but in the unittest it's already tested (line 671). The problem is that my /etc/hosts file contains a different IP than the DNS (I cannot change this behaviour as I'm not the administrator of the host) and that's the difference between gethostbyname and gethostbyname_ex. The unittest creates an url which is not local (from urllib2 point of view). I'm attaching a patch which has fixed my problem.
