Try to make this test a little more robust and not fail with:
timeout (10.0025) is more than 2 seconds more than expected (0.001)
I'm assuming this problem is caused by DNS lookup. This change
does a DNS lookup of the hostname before trying to connect, so the time
is not included.

From a clean build importing future_builtins would fail since itertools
wasn't built yet.

................
r61813 | gregory.p.smith | 2008-03-23 22:04:43 +0100 (Sun, 23 Mar 2008) | 6 lines
Fix gzip to deal with CRC's being signed values in Python 2.x properly and to
read 32bit values as unsigned to start with rather than applying signedness
fixups allover the place afterwards.
This hopefully fixes the test_tarfile failure on the alpha/tru64 buildbot.
