When I installed Python 2.5.2 on my Fedora Core 4 system, I ran 'make
test" and the process stopped at this point:

test_urllib2_localnet
Exception in thread Thread-1067:

Thanks.

I get the same behavior on an up-to-date Gentoo machine with Python
2.5.4. It seems, test_urllib2_localnet tries to bind to port 8080. If
something else is listening there, I get this error.
I changed the test to point to a different port and things seem to work.

Perhaps the test should check whether the port is available before
binding to it or even use a random port... 8080 is all too common!

test_urllib2_localnet works for me if something is running on port 8080
on python 2.6.  Since python 2.5 is in security-fix-only mode, this bug
report is out of date.
