There's already this note at the top of the socket module documentation: """ Note Some behavior may be platform dependent, since calls are made to the operating system socket APIs. """ There are other such subtleties with the socket API, e.g. SO_REUSEADDR which doesn't have the same semantics on Windows. As I said earlier, I don't think we should document every platform quirks: it will make users worry for no reason, and as time passes, there's a chance that the documentation doesn't match the actual behavior. For example, this specific behavior might very well be a bug, and it's not our responsibility to document this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6774> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
