At first > glance, it's not necessary, but it seems more correct. Thanks for raising this! What a surprise - I hadn't realised this problem. But I'm not sure about the proposed patch: jupyter-client itself calls ifconfig (in jupyter_client/localinterfaces.py), so it might be better to have this dependency be part of the binary package itself rather than just part of the test suite. If this isn't needed (have a read of the code in that file - it will not fail is ifconfig is not found, just that some functionality will be lost), and it's just that the test is failing, then your patch would be fine. What do you think? Best wishes, Julian
