Hello,

I'm trying to test boots but tests.py hangs even though drizzled is running
and responds to both boots cli and mysql cli.  tcpdump shows no traffic so
apparently a connection is not even being attempted.  Ctrl-c and a backtrace
gave me,

  File "/home/daniel/dev/boots/trunk/tests/boots/api/api_tests.py", line 62,
in test_invalid_connect
    self.assertRaises(errors.ConnectionError, server.connect)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 336, in failUnlessRaises
    callableObj(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/home/daniel/dev/boots/trunk/tests/boots/../../boots/api/api.py", line
143, in connect
    self._connection = self._connect()

So I went looking and found,

    def test_invalid_connect(self):
        server = self.make_server(host="xyz")

Out of sheer curiosity I did "host xzy" and what do you know, it resolves!  I
work from my university and apparently they have a box called xyz.  So the
test hangs trying to connect to that box (over my wlan0 if, which is why
tcpdump shows nothing on lo).

I guess the connect method has no timeout?  (Or it's really long and I'm too
impatient.)

I doubt this will be a common problem for others, but fyi just in case.
