New submission from Michael Goderbauer <cont...@m-goderbauer.de>: Mac OS X provides a socket-based API to communicate with Kernel Extensions (KEXTs) called "KEXT Controls". For this, Mac OS X defines PF_SYSTEM as a new socket domain which supports the SYSPROTO_CONTROL protocol.
Right now the PF_SYSTEM domain and the SYSPROTO_CONTROL protocol are not supported by Python's socket module. I am attaching a patch that introduces support for both. More information on KEXT Controls can be found here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/NKEConceptual/control/control.html ---------- components: Extension Modules files: kext.patch keywords: patch messages: 151145 nosy: goderbauer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: socket: communicating with Mac OS X KEXT controls type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24220/kext.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13777> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
