Kurt Rose added the comment: I think this may in fact be a bug. There are other places in the socket module where port is checked, create_connection() just seems to have been missed.
create_connection() and socket.connect() have different behavior: >>> socket.create_connection( ('google.com', 0x10000 + 80) ) <socket._socketobject object at 0x028B3F48> >>> socket.socket().connect( ('google.com', 0x10000 + 80) ) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 224, in meth return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args) OverflowError: getsockaddrarg: port must be 0-65535. https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/712f246da49b/Modules/socketmodule.c#l1395 if (port < 0 || port > 0xffff) { PyErr_SetString( PyExc_OverflowError, "getsockaddrarg: port must be 0-65535."); return 0; } ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24169> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
