Lib/tests/test_robotparser.py uses the following url: http://mueblesmoraleda.com/robots.txt That file now serves a 404. This should be disabled for 3.4, and the test rewritten for 3.5. If we get a patch quickly I would probably cherry-pick it for 3.4 final. Aside: it is REALLY IRRITATING that we have tests in the standard library that hit external web sites. The standard library regression test suite should not rely on network access. Can the rewritten test please spin up a local web server (http.server) and serve a robotx.txt that way?

Aside: it is REALLY IRRITATING that we have tests in the standard library that hit external web sites.  The standard library regression test suite should *not* rely on network access.  Can the rewritten test please spin up a local web server (http.server) and serve a robotx.txt that way?
