`resolv.conf` docs say unqualified names must resolve from search (or local) domain. However, common OS `getaddrinfo()` implementations append trailing dot (e.g. `db -> db.`) and ask nameservers, as if top-level domain was queried. Eventlet now supports this behavior. https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/363
The tests are intended to be run using Nose. http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/ To run tests, simply install nose, and then, in the eventlet tree, do: $ nosetests That's it! Its output is the same as unittest's output. It tends to emit a lot of tracebacks from various poorly-behaving tests, but they still (generally) pass.
