@zware Can you verify if this still doesn't work on main? Can you provide the error traceback?

I didn't leave enough breadcrumbs on this one; I have no idea what the issue was originally. From a quick look at the code, maybe the issue is that it expects the install location (particularly <prefix>/lib/python/3.xx/test/data) to be writable? This doesn't seem to be a problem in practice; each use of open_urlresource seems to catch the OSError that would happen in the case of being unable to write the downloaded data. However, it does mean that when run from an installed, unwritable location the tests that use this function just get skipped.
