New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rod...@gmail.com>:
As of right now socket.getaddrinfo() returns a sequence of 5-tuples reflecting
family, type, protocol, canonname, and address of a socket:
>>> socket.getaddrinfo(None, 0)
[(10, 1, 6, '', ('::1', 0, 0, 0)), (10, 2, 17, '', ('::1', 0, 0, 0)), (10, 3,
0, '', ('::1', 0, 0, 0)), (2, 1, 6, '', ('127.0.0.1', 0)), (2, 2, 17, '',
('127.0.0.1', 0)), (2, 3, 0, '', ('127.0.0.1', 0))]
For readability it would be good if they were named tuples instead:
>>> socket.getaddrinfo(None, 0)[0]
addr_info(family=10, type=1, protocol=6, canonname='', address=('::1', 0, 0, 0))
Optionally, integers can be replaced by socket constant names:
>>> socket.getaddrinfo(None, 0)[0]
addr_info(family=socket.AF_INET6, type=socket.SOCK_STREAM,
protocol=socket.IPPROTO_TCP, canonname='', address=('::1', 0, 0, 0))
