Re: [Jython-dev] Failing tests on GitHub

[Adam B. <ada...@gm...>]

If test_socket and test_ssl fail due to environmental reasons - eg can't reliably obtain a non-clashing socket on the build server - it's probably worth having a mechanism to distinguish and disable them in that environment.

Test_sort seems like it should pass everywhere though?
