Dominik Richter added the comment: @haypo: You're right, RFC1178 is only a recommendation. RFC952 however is mandatory, although it doesn't seem to define <let-or-digit> explicitly (or at least i wasn't able to find it; thus referencing POSIX).
Regarding Arch Linux's hostname: It is part of the package inetutils v1.9.1-5 [1], which is GNU inetutils packaged [2]. Unfortunately I don't know which encoding it uses. I agree with you: It would be great if python supported it. fyi: I opened a bug on Arch Linux [3] (thank you Dmi for the suggestion) [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/inetutils/ [2] http://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/ [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35580 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18109> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
