21 tests failed:
    test_asynchat test_asyncore test_docxmlrpc test_eintr test_epoll
    test_ftplib test_httplib test_imaplib
    test_multiprocessing_forkserver test_multiprocessing_spawn
    test_nntplib test_os test_poplib test_robotparser test_smtplib
    test_socket test_ssl test_support test_telnetlib
    test_urllib2_localnet test_wsgiref

This is a rollup tracking issue.  I've got an IPv6-only future buildbot host with which to run an diagnose these for fixes.  Of note there is no IPv4 localhost.

If there are larger problems I may spawn child bugs for specific issues off of this one.  (I already filed separate issues about 5 other tests that hang rather than fail)

How do you configure a Linux box to disable IPv4? At least, disable IPv4 localhost?

Maybe use this issue as a meta-issue for IPv6-only issues? I saw:

* bpo-37895: test_logging hangs on an IPv6-only host
* bpo-37896: test_multiprocessing_fork hangs on an IPv6-only host
* bpo-37897: test_asyncio hangs on an IPv6-only host
* bpo-37898: test_httpservers hangs on an IPv6-only host
* bpo-37899: test_xmlrpc hangs on an IPv6-only host

Here's how I created an IPv6-only host: https://gist.github.com/gpshead/f4f394593674e5f7a58e9424b4dba989
