When verbose mode if OFF, test.support.transient_internet prints out what resource was unavailable before raising the ResourceDenied exception. Not sure if this is a bug (since it has existed for a while) or it is on purpose and just happens to seem counter-intuitive.

Assigning to Victor since it seems to be his code (that Antoine applied).

I'm pretty sure this was intentional.  It is analogous to Skip messages and the messages issued when a resource hasn't been enabled, which also print when verbose is not true: the test wasn't run, and it lets you know why.

don't have  the repo in front of me right now, but is there some other
mechanism which prints out similar info when verbosity is on?

I don't see any such code in the 3.3 source for the context manager.  There the resource name is put in the ResourceDenied message.  I think we'll need the reproducer.

The line from the source I am talking about is http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/49e9e34da512/Lib/test/support.py#l943 . And as for the output:

> ./python.exe -m test -uall test_ssl                                                  
[1/1] test_ssl
Resource 'ipv6.google.com' is not available
1 test OK.
