I don't know whether it is significant that it was trying to connect to allmydata.org; that resolves to the same IP as tahoe-lafs.org, so it should be harmless. Anyway, if there is no timeout then that is very broken.

  • Milestone changed from undecided to 1.11.0
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

We no longer have find_links= in our setup.cfg, since pip doesn't honor them. And modern pip does timeout when it cannot talk to PyPI (I've seen it do this after about 30-60 seconds). So I think this one can be closed.
