TST: test_spam_url fails because of Invalid URL

[jtratner]

Intermittently failing test in travis with data.py with the "unused imports" #4251. @cpcloud any ideas? (failed then passed with the same build)

[cpcloud]

i'll pull ur branch down and check it out

[cpcloud]

what's weird is that this is only triggered if urllib2.URLError is caught...

[cpcloud]

also why the heck isn't it skipping? URLError is a subclass of IOError which is caught by the network decorator

[cpcloud]

oh nvm it doesn't skip because i raise a ValueError

[cpcloud]

i'll just remove the try suite there
