See related http://bugs.python.org/issue8498, which was fixed in 2010.

This impacts the tests used by the latest version of requests. The relevant code in tests/testserver/server.py in the Server class:

    def _create_socket_and_bind(self):
        sock = socket.socket()
        sock.bind((self.host, self.port))
        sock.listen(0)
        return sock

I believe this only impacts test usage - you really only want your server to just accept just *one* connection?!! - so it's an unfortunate annoyance that shouldn't slip 2.7.1. The requests package itself seems to continue to work fine, at least as use by pip.
