Basically, the first test that runs looks for a file
'release-announce-test' in the root of the tarball.

This file does not exist in the PyPi or GitHub releases (they are
identical). I checked several releases going back to December 2015, and
none of them contain this file, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Reported upstream at <https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/issues/330>.

I'll add a comment explaining this.

Also, while skimming some other tests I began to suspect they require
internet access, although I'm not sure.
