> My preference for create_datagram_endpoint() would be: > - make the "reuse_address" parameter a no-op, and raise an error when > "reuse_address=True" is passed > - do that in 3.8 as well This solution would more elegant, but my concern is that it will leave open a substantial security concern for versions 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 if we only applied that to 3.8 and 3.9. Although Nathaniel's suggestion would ultimately make the `reuse_address` parameter fairly meaningless (essentially converting it into an alias for `reuse_port`), it would fix the security issue while still maintaining backwards compatibility for most users, allowing us to backport it all the way back to 3.5. Perhaps this could lead to a deprecation warning or error, and then an eventual removal of `reuse_address`, but I think that's more of a long term concern for 3.9+. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37228> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
