The difflib test fails because "False" is close enough to "apple". The ftplib and nntplib tests rely on things downloaded from the web that are inherently variable.

Thanks for the patch!  I made a couple changes in difflib.rst to avoid issues with sys.stdout.write() returning the number of characters written.
