New submission from Paulo Scardine <pa...@scardine.com.br>: In smtplib there is now way to bind to an specific source address on a machine with multiple interfaces; also, there no way to control the source port for the connection.
Since 2.7, socket.create_connection accepts a source_address parameter, a (host, port) tuple for the socket to bind to as its source address before connecting. If host or port are '' or 0 respectively the OS default behavior will be used. I would like to add source_ip and source_port parameters to smtplib.SMTP, default to '' and 0 respectively. It is a small change with no impact over existing code. Should I submit a patch? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 129035 nosy: paulos priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: smtplib: add ability to bind to specific source IP address/port versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
