both mean the same thing and are used to reference local socket files if you do a `man socket` one of the lines says PF_LOCAL Host-internal protocols, formerly called PF_UNIX, (AF and PF mean the same thing here, but importantly it shows that PF_UNIX has been depreciated) this change gives users the option to type socket.AF_LOCAL as well as socket.AF_UNIX when specifying the address family for the socket. this is my first issue so lmk if there is anything I'm missing ) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 344585 nosy: frosty00 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add AF_LOCAL alias for AF_UNIX versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37152> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
